It would fall under the desert biome (cold desert).
You would most likely find organisms adapted to limited water supplies in desert biomes. These organisms have adaptations such as water-efficient metabolism, water storage tissues, and reduced water loss through features like waxy coatings or spines to survive in arid conditions.
The desert biome typically has the lowest net primary production due to its limited water availability and extreme temperatures, which can restrict plant growth and productivity.
A succulent plant would typically live in a desert biome. Deserts have arid conditions with limited rainfall, making them ideal for succulents because they have adapted to store water in their fleshy leaves or stems.
because we need to. what if you were hit with nuclear weapons? what if you had no water? It's mostly because that the desert is very interesting. A lot of scientists would probably love to be able to study the different plants and animals of the desert.
I think tundra is the deadliest biome! But if it comes down to wildlife that life in the biome I would say the savannah. But the tundra weather is extremely dangerous and many people die cause of it every year
That would be the Atacama Desert in northern Chile.
Africa
The desert is a biome.
Only in Cities and towns would one find food markets in the Atacama Desert.
The climate of the Atacama is cool and very dry in most areas. It would be classified as a cool, dry desert climate.
That would be a tossup between the Atacama Desert of South America and the Antarctic Desert.
You would expect to find a cold desert biome in a region with low temperatures and low precipitation. Cold deserts typically have sparse vegetation, rocky terrain, and are characterized by cold winters and hot summers. Examples of cold deserts include the Gobi Desert in Asia and the Atacama Desert in South America.
If the Pacific Ocean were warmer in the area of the Atacama there would be higher evaporation rates and higher rainfall in the Atacama which would mean the desert would probably no longer be a desert. Another factor is that with warmer waters there would be less fish available for local fishermen to harvest.
In a desert or arid biome.
The principle employer of the Atacama Desert region is the mining industry.
The Atacama Desert is the driest place on earth and I have already been there. I have traveled the entire length of the desert from south to north by bus. It was an interesting trip but not the highlight of our vacation in South America. I am happy to have seen the Atacama but would probably not return.
Uluru (Ayer's Rock) is located in the deserts of central Australia. The Atacama Desert is located on the west coast of South America, primarily in Chile.
