Clouds mean water, and deserts have virtually no water.
As there is little moisture, there will be little fog. Fog is basically water vapor.
To experience fog a town would have to have a relative humidity at or very near 100%. Desert areas rarely experience such days while coastal towns experience them quite frequently.
The coastal mountain ranges and the Sierra Mountains block Pacific moisture from reaching the Mojave and form a rain shadow.
because there is less water
one is hot, the other has life-sustaining fog.
The Outback, or the Desert. The desert proper is rarely called the Outback; but certainly much of the territory bordering true desert and even the Nullabor Plain itself can be called the Outback
Desert air usually has a very low moisture content. Air above a lake would be much more humid.
The Mojave Desert is in the rainshadow of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is also at a latitude that is generally under high atmospheric pressure that suppresses thunderstorm development.
They compete with other large plants for land.
To have fog an area must have a relative humidity of about 100%. This happens more frequently along the coast and rarely in the desert.
no .
To experience fog an area has to have a relative humidity of near or at 100%. The temperatures must be at or near the dew point. Deserts rarely have the humidity levels needed to produce fog.
The air in the desert is usually quite dry and the temperature rarely falls to the dew point at night.
A type of Desert that has a lot of fog
Fresh water is available in a few oases found in the desert and also from very sparse rainfall and, in some areas near the coast, dense fog. There are rivers and streams in the Atacama but they rarely have any water. In some parts of the desert there are salares, salt lakes, but the water has such a high salt content that it cannot be used for drinking or irrigation.
Fog can form during summer, depending on where you are. It depends on where you are located geographically. You may be in a location where fog forms very rarely.
the welwitschia plant in the Namib desert is an example
The Atacama Desert gets its water from fog caught on nets.
Since it rarely rains in the Atacama, nearly all weathering would be physical weathering caused by the wind.
With the exception of a few oasis, there is virtually no surface water or aquifers in the Atacama. Nearly all water is brought in by pipelines or aqueducts. Some areas that experience dense fog from the Pacific Ocean have developed equipment to harvest water from the fog for drinking and household use.
