A Hot and Dry Desert is, as you can tell from the name, hot and dry. Most Hot and Dry Deserts don't have very many plants. They do have some low down plants though. The only animals they have that can survive have the ability to burrow under ground. This is because they would not be able to live in the hot sun and heat. They only come out in the night when it is a little cooler.A cold desert is a desert that has snow in the winter instead of just dropping a few degrees in temperature like they would in a Hot and Dry Desert. It never gets warm enough for plants to grow. Just maybe a few grasses and mosses. The animals in Cold Deserts also have to burrow but in this case to keep warm, not cool. That is why you might find some of the same animals here as you would in the Hot and Dry Deserts. The Desert's temperature is mainly 64f. Here are some suggestions of some clothing that yu should wear: Shorts, thin torsos, thin jackets, short socks, tenis shoes, etc. The Desert's location is... Some major deserts can be found in North America; namely the Sonoran, Chihuahua, Mojave, and the Great Basin. Other deserts, which can be found in Australia, are the Great Victoria and the Great Sandy. South America has deserts in Patagonia and Argentina. The Atacama region can also be found in South America. Most of the Arabian Peninsula is covered in desert. This massive desert extends northward into Syria. The Negev desert of Israel is also considered a part of this desert. Deserts also cover large areas in Africa. In fact, the Sahara, which is the largest desert in the world, covers 3.5 million square miles (9 million square kilometers), almost a quarter of the entire northern portion of Africa. Other African deserts include the Kalahari of Southwestern Africa, and the Danakil of Ethiopia. |   |
