How are temperature and precipitation related to climate?
Temperature and precipitation are related to climate in how they affect it. Areas with very high temperatures and low precipitation, like deserts, are considered arid.
Why are ice caps called polar deserts?
Because they receive less than ten inches of precipitation a year
What world biome has the greatest daily temperature change?
Deserts.
How Does Precipation affect temperature?
In some placesa of the world, like in deserts, it is so hot that the precipitation cannot occur because as the rain starts to fall, it changes into water vapor. Rain is what falls when it is not too hot, or too cold. Then there are times when snow falls, this is because of cold temperatures.
Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to Low Humidity or Low Pressure or High Wind velocity or High temperature?
Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to low pressure. Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to low pressure.
Is it ever cold in a desert?
Deserts are often cold. Deserts are created by a lack of precipitation, not by temperature.
How are temperature and precipitation related to climate?
Temperature and precipitation are related to climate in how they affect it. Areas with very high temperatures and low precipitation, like deserts, are considered arid.
What is the average temperature for wet deserts?
There is no such thing as a 'wet desert.' Deserts are called deserts because they are dry, receiving less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation on average per year.
What do deserts and Antarctica have in common?
there both deserts antarctica is a deserts they both have less precipitation
Do deserts have more evaporation than precipitation?
Yes, due to the very low humidity, deserts experience more evaporation than precipitation.
What is a desert in Japan?
Japan has entirely too much precipitation to have any deserts.
Why do deserts have such low productivity?
Deserts have little rainfall. However, if the desert is irrigated, it can be, and is, quite porductive.
Is the defining characteristic of deserts high daytime temperatures?
No, temperature has nothing to do with defining a desert. There are deserts where the temperature rarely rises above 0 degrees. A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation on average per year.
What makes a desert so dry?
Deserts are dry because of their position relative to the Equator and the temperature of the sea that they happen to be adjacent to. Cold seas make for deserts. Deserts also form in areas of rain shadows or in places that are too high or cold for regular precipitation.
Why are some areas in the desert classified as deserts?
Your question is redundant. All deserts are classified as deserts because of the low precipitation.
How much precipitation is found in desert biomes?
Deserts are defined as regions that receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average. Some deserts receive virtually no precipitation, however.
What is false about the deserts that they have no permanent vegetation always hot they experience very little precipitation?
The only true statement of the above is that all deserts experience very little precipitation.
