How does the temperature change from day to night in the desert?
Sunshine during the day heats the surface of the desert. That then heats the air above it. Since the desert has few clouds of high humidity to hold this heat after the sun sets, the heat radiates back into space and the desert cools down quickly.
Is it hot in the daytime in the desert?
Yes, it is the hottest during the day and cooles down durning the night. When it is night in the desert that's when all of the animals come out there.
Where on earth would physical weathering from temperature chang be most common?
Physical weathering from temperature changes is most common on the shorelines, because waves are able to take down rocks that have been weathers. They would be least noticeable inland, in desert areas with little forestation.

Which part of India does experience the highest diurnal range of temperature and why?
The north-western part of India comprising the Indian Desert experiences the highest diurnal range of temperature. This is because of the fact that sand (found in ample quantity in this region) gains and loses heat very quickly. As a result of this phenomenon, there is a wide difference between day and night temperatures in this region. The day temperature may rise to 50°C and drop down to near 15°C the same night.
Is the desert always cold or warm?
It is more like radiant heat, depending on the location of the desert. The Sonoran desert near Arizona/Mexico naturally is cooler at night after the sun goes down.

How does the lack of atmospheric moisture in California's Mojave desert cause a large daily temperature range?
Clouds and moisture act as a blanket holding in the heat of the day. These are lacking in a desert. Once the sun goes down in the desert, the heat begins to radiate back into space and the temperature can drop quite drastically.
