What is the sort of weather in the desert?

The weather is very dry, less than 250mm precipitation, or, less precipitation than is lost through evaporation. Desert is not necessarily related to hot temperatures; the two largest deserts are the Arctic and Antarctic, each more than 50% larger than the #3 contender, the Sahara.


What are characteristics of deserts?

The main characteristic that defines a desert is lack of precipitation. A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall per year on average. The desert also has a high evaporation rate and evaporation and transpiration far exceed the annual precipitation.


What is is the water cycle?

Evaporation then condensation than precipitation.


What areas that receive more rainfall than deserts?

Grasslands, rainforests, the taiga, savanna and some other biomes receive more precipitation than the desert.


Do midlatitude desert receive less than 250 millimeters of precipitation a year?

Yes. If they received more than 250 mm of precipitation on average per year they would not be classified as deserts.


How does temperature soil composition and annual precipitation limit productivity in deserts?

In deserts, high temperatures can lead to evaporation of water faster than it can be replenished, limiting water availability for plants. Soil composition in deserts is typically poor in nutrients and organic matter, making it challenging for plants to grow. Additionally, low annual precipitation levels in deserts reduce the amount of water available for plant growth, further limiting productivity.


Tropical rainforests have high what compared to deserts?

Tropical rainforests contain more/higher biodiversity than deserts since their conditions are a lot more ideal for the growth of organisms.


Which defines a biome as a desert?

a rate of evaporation higher than precipitation


What climate has higher evaporation than precipitation?

A dry climate, such as a desert climate, typically experiences higher evaporation rates than precipitation. This imbalance leads to arid conditions and low annual rainfall.


Do most deserts receive on average less than 50 inches of rainless than 10inches of rain or less than 1 inch of rain per year?

Deserts receive less than 10 inches of rain per year.


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 type of climate receives less than 10 inches of water annually?

A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average.
