What is the precipitation of Nunavut?
It gets alot a year
How many gallons of water does the desert get in a year?
A desert is defined as an area that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average. There are over two dozen major deserts in the world and each has its own climate statistics. Some deserts receive virtually no rain for decades. Others receive up to ten inches per year on average. With a particular location this answer could provide a more specific answer.
What is classified as a desert?
Some scientists classify deserts are either hot or cold, others break that down further: Subtropical Desert - Sahara, Great Victorian, Chihuahuan, etc. Cool Coastal Desert - Namib, Atacama, etc. Cold Winter Desert - Gobi, Great Basin, Antarctica, etc.
How many months do fall and spring last in the desert?
Whether an area is or is not dessert does not have any effect on the length of the seasons there. Summer and Winter will cover the same time span in a desert as it does for any other area at the same latitude. What is different is the weather in a desert in the summer and the winter. Because deserts are dry, the humidity is very low and cloud cover is less. This leads to wider temperature swings between daytime and nighttime temperatures. During the summer, the temperatures could be brutally hot during the day and yet drop to uncomfortably cold temperatures at night. During the winter it might be only moderately cold during the day but then drop to brutally cold during the night. Depending on the type of desert, Winter may also be the season with the highest precipitation - although being a desert, getting "more" precipitation may still not amount to very much.In broad terms, Summer lasts about 3 months and Winter lasts about 3 months in the desert. If you get to extreme northern latitudes or extreme southern latitudes, the effective Summer and Winter seasons (i.e. months with "summer weather" and months with "winter weather") get longer with shorter Spring and Fall in between, but that is a function of the latitude, not the desert environment. In Antarctica is considered a desert with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and far less inland. Down in Antarctica it gets closer to being effectively 5 months of Summer and 5 months of Winter.
What is the main climate in the oasis desert?
Extremey hot climates such as the Sahara desert ( equatorial ) or Extremely Cold climates such as Antarctica. The desert part refers to there being no or very little rain fall or liquid water in these places.
This biome has frozen soil most of the year It gets very little precipitation This biome is the?
the tundra.
What biome receives the least amount of rainfall?
desert and tundra tundra doesnt have snowbut desert has the least
The biome has frozen soil most of the year It gets very little precipitation This biome is the?
I believe it is the tundra. It does get little precipitation, and it is very cold, resulting in the frozen soil.
Which biome gets the most precipitation each year?
tropical rain forest
Which biome gets nearly the same amount of precipitaition as the desert biome?
The tundra receives about the same average annual rainfall as a desert.
What biome is extreamly cold and dry?
I think the turndra has the most extreme cold and rarely has precipitation but it's mostly snow, there's also the desert which is cold at night and gets no snow but I would think tundra.
What similarities are there between the tundra biome and the desert biome?
The tundra biome is often called the frozen desert. this is because it gets little rain. But because of the the permanently frozen layer of soil under the ground (permafrost) it stays cooler than the desert biomes because the desert biomes would be very hot under tose huge sand dunes and all of the heat that the deserts are consuming to keep dry.
What characteristics best describe a wetland biome?
climate-wet gets 2nd most amount of precipitation per year than in any other biome, aquatic fish live here
How cold in feringeight does it get in the dezert during winter?
Which desert where? "Desert" just means "a region with low precipitation". Most of Antarctica is a desert; it gets pretty darn cold there in the winter.
How much snow is at svalbard?
Very little - much of the high Arctic is technically a desert and gets very little precipitation.
Why is the tundra Biome dry and not wet?
Even though you may think of snow as wet, it is actually ice and the tundra gets little precipitation, causing it to be dry
What is the average rainfall for the desert?
the wettest desert gets about 10 inches of rainfall a year
