Why is Death Valley so dry if it is below sea level?
Death Valley is a desert valley located in another larger desert, the Mojave Desert. The Mojave Desert is very dry, globally because of the high number of his high montains ranges, which surround the desert. These mountains ranges block the moisture on forms of clouds and precipitations, this effect is called the rain shadow. In addition to this effect, the Mojave Desert locations has very low elevations which accentuate the hotter and the drier effect of rain shadow because there are more colums of air, which means the atmospheric pressure will be higher and will cause the air to sink more and to be drier. A great portion of the year, there is a large semi-permanent high pressure system hanging over the Pacific Ocean called the North Pacific High, which cause hot dry air to descend and to sink and to have a lot less water vapor. Death Valley is the lowest place of the Mojave Desert and of the North America, which means also hotter and drier than other higher elevations.
Is death Valley Desert the hottest place in north America?
Death Valley is a valley locate in the Mojave Desert, a very dry area. Death Valley has extremely hot summers with an average high temperature of 46,9 °C in July, the hottest month of the year. That extreme heat is due to the very low elevation, below the sea level which makes more column of air and more air pressure. A higher air pressure makes the air sinking more, and therefore more heating and drying by an adiabatic process. Also, Death Valley is situated between 2 mountains ranges, which adds a rain shadow effect.

Why the explored?
For any reason that entices you...exploration can reveal geological formations that are difficult to see anywhere else on earth, as in most places vegitation obscures the rock and dirt formations that are readily visible in deserts such as the Mojave Desert and Death Valley. For example, in Titus Canyon between NV and Death Valley, it is easy to see where layers of sedimentary rock has been twisted and turned on their edges thru earth movement, and where one type rock abuts completely different rocks. Exploration can also be of unique plants and animals, adapted to living with little moisture in extreme temperature swings. I didn't use to enjoy deserts, but the more time I spent in them the more I understood and came to admire their terrain...I am now firmly a desert rat at heart, primarily due to months' worth of backcountry exploring in Death Valley and the Mojave Desert.
