Both the Atacama and the Amazon owe their very existence to the Andes Mountains. The high Andes cause moisture from the Atlantic Ocean to condense and fall on the east side of the mountains, giving the Amazon basin copious amounts of rain. However, the mountains also prevent the moisture from reaching the western slopes, causing a rain shadow, preventing rain from falling there and creating the Atacama Desert.
Both deserts have low rainfall, although the Atacama is the driest. The Mojave is classified as a hot desert while the Atacama is a cool coastal desert.
Both the Amazon and the Atacama desert owe their very existence to the Andes Mountains. The general flow of the atmosphere is from east to west in South America. As the Atlantic moisture is forced up the high Andes Mountains it drops most of its rain and snow on the eastern slopes that feed the Amazon River and its tributaries. Since the moisture has difficulty crossing the mountains, the western side lies in a rain shadow and little to no precipitation occurs, forming the Atacama Desert.
both the climates of a tropical rainforest and a desert are, well, hot! They can both be humid, and are very deadly if you don't have any water. They are both found near the equator, which means the sun is out a lot longer. The only difference between the two is that the rainforest rains more, so more plants can grow than in a desert.
There is alot of reasons they are alike like some obvious ones. They are both reptiles, they eat, they drink, and they are predators and pre.
The Amazon, Nile and Mississippi rivers are alike in that they are the longest rivers in the continents in which they are found.
