The lack of humidity and lack of cloud cover cause the extremes of temperature. There is no insulation to slow the absorbing of heat during the day and nothing to hold the heat at night. Therefore, the desert can be quite hot during the day but cool off dramatically at night.
What else can I help you with?
Why is some deserts by day is hot and by night the temperature is under zero?
No moisture in the air to buffer temperature extremes
What are three ways you can identify deserts?
1.) Low precipitation2.) Limited plant life 3.) Temperature extremes
What temperature is it Bald Eagles have a habitat?
They live in dramatic temperautre extremes, from hot deserts of Arizona and south to near the treeline in extreme northern Canada and Alaska
Where are the largest extremes in temperature are usually experienced?
The largest extremes in temperature are usually experienced in deserts, where the lack of vegetation and moisture allows for rapid heating during the day and quick cooling at night. Antarctica also experiences extreme temperature variations due to its ice-covered landscape and polar climate.
Can temperature extremes make a clock inaccurate?
Temperature extremes can effect the performance of a clock.
What causes purple burns on the skin?
Burns are caused by extremes of temperature. They are also caused by chemical reactions. The colour may vary according to the reaction.
Are enzymes permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes or are changes in the enzymes reversible?
Enzymes are permanently inactivated by high temperature extremes. They are denatured.
Why does Mongolia experiences extreme in temperature?
Mongolia experiences extremes in temperature because it has extreme continental climate
How do you find low temperature extremes?
by using thermometers
What challenges do Antarctic organisms have to overcome?
Extremes of temperature
What may experience daily temperature extremes?
desert
Why Weathering of rocks due to variations in temperature is common in deserts?
The temperature in deserts 'swings' from one extreme to another. By day - the temperature rises to as much as 50C or more... at night the temperature can be as low as minus 40C ! This drastic fluctuation causes rocks expand and contract - which breaks them apart. The wind does the rest - 'sand blasting' the rocks until they're completely worn away.
