To be considered as a desert, a region must receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average.
Depending upon the specific desert and season of the year, a desert may receive rain, sleet, hail, graupel or snow.
A tropical desert is a type of ecosystem characterized by hot temperatures and low precipitation levels. These deserts are located in tropical regions near the equator and typically have sparse vegetation and unique adaptations by organisms to survive in hot and arid conditions. Examples of tropical deserts include the Sahara Desert and the Arabian Desert.
Precipitation intensity refers to the rate at which precipitation falls, often measured in inches per hour or millimeters per hour. Precipitation type refers to the form in which the precipitation falls, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
Rain, hail, sleet, and snow can all occur in the desert. What type of precipitation depends upon the location of the particular desert and season of the year.
In which climate would leaching be more common in, tropical or desert? Explain.
Tropical climates receive significantly more rainfall than desert regions. Characterized by high temperatures and abundant precipitation, tropical climates typically feature lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems. In contrast, deserts are defined by their arid conditions and low annual rainfall. Examples of tropical climates include rainforests and monsoon regions, where precipitation can exceed 2000 mm (79 inches) annually.
It is rain.
In the desert it may rain, snow, hail, sleet or gropple, depending upon the specific desert and season.
Yes, it falls as a frozen form of water, then it's precipitation.
In which climate would leaching be more common in, tropical or desert? Explain.
tropical
There are three basic types of tropical climates within the tropical climate group: tropical rainforest climate (Af), tropical monsoon climate (Am) and tropical wet and dry or savanna climate (Aw or As), which are classified and distinguished by the annual precipitation and the precipitation level of the driest month in those regions.
