Deserts

The Great Basin Desert is located in Nevada.

Spiky plants would be yuccas, agaves, sotols, etc. Spiny plants would include the cacti and a number of other plants.

The climate does not change quickly. However, the weather can change quickly in the desert. There is little humidity to hold in heat or to slow heating. The humidity acts somewhat like a buffer to slow temperature changes. Without the humidity, the temperature can change more rapidly than in an area with higher humidity.

Mercury is a rocky planet in our solar system that experiences extreme temperature variations. During the day, its surface can reach scorching temperatures due to its proximity to the Sun, while at night, temperatures drop dramatically because Mercury has no atmosphere to retain heat.

Yes, deserts can be covered in other materials besides sand, such as gravel, rock, salt flats, or ice. Each type of desert has its own unique features and characteristics based on the type of material that covers it.

The last link in the food chain is typically apex predators, such as large carnivores like lions, sharks, or eagles. These predators are at the top of the food chain and have few or no natural predators themselves.

Sturt's Desert Pea, the Australian Floral Emblem of South Australia, is found mostly in central Australia, northwestern Australia and the northern area of South Australia. It grows best in arid woodlands, and is particularly suited to the extremes of desert temperatures. Sturt's Desert Rose, the Australian Floral Emblem of the Northern Territory, is a drought-resistant plant found in the Northern Territory and all mainland states of Australia. It grows on rocky slopes and in dry creek beds of the Northern Territory, eastern South Australia, western Queensland and NSW, and northwestern Australia. There are various species of wattle (acacia) trees, a highly adaptable plant which grows in a variety of different conditions. Mulga trees are typical arid region plants, as is spinifex grass.

Arizona's coldest temperature recorded was -40°F (-40°C) at Hawley Lake on January 7, 1971. However, it is important to note that such extreme cold temperatures are rare in the state, and typical winter lows range from 20°F to 40°F (-6°C to 4°C) in colder regions.

Having several cups of hot cocoa in the evening can lead to difficulty falling asleep due to the caffeine content in chocolate. Caffeine is a stimulant that can interfere with the body's ability to relax and fall asleep. Additionally, consuming liquids close to bedtime may result in disrupted sleep due to more frequent trips to the bathroom.

The largest magnet in the world is located at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory in Tallahassee, Florida, USA. It is a superconducting magnet and is used for various research purposes in fields like physics, chemistry, and biology.

The temperature would depend upon the season of the year and cause of the storm. If the cause of a storm is a cold front, the temperature can be quite cool, even cold, in the winter. Sometimes summer thunderstorms can stir up a sandstorm even on hot days. There is no single answer to your question.

Mesquite cacti are adapted to desert environments with mechanisms such as deep root systems to absorb water, waxy coatings to prevent water loss, and the ability to photosynthesize efficiently under intense sunlight. These adaptations help mesquite cacti thrive in arid conditions by conserving water and maximizing their use of available resources.

Succulent plants such as cacti have adaptations such as thick, fleshy leaves with a waxy coating to prevent water loss. These adaptations help the plant store water and survive in arid environments with limited water availability.

Plants in dry climates need structures like deep root systems to access water from deep in the ground, small leaves to reduce water loss through transpiration, and succulent stems to store water. These adaptations help plants conserve water and thrive in arid environments.

Earth is the wettest known planet. It is the only planet known to have liquid water. The only other planet with any form of water is Mars with ice on one of the poles.

A desert on the equator would typically have hot temperatures year-round due to the direct sunlight it receives. It may experience minimal rainfall and have a dry climate, resulting in sparse vegetation and limited animal life. Examples include the Atacama Desert in South America and the Danakil Desert in Africa.

Desert biomes can be found at various longitudes around the world, as they are characterized by low precipitation and high temperatures. Specific examples of desert biomes include the Sahara Desert in Africa (around 25°E longitude) and the Atacama Desert in South America (around 70°W longitude).

The Kalahari Desert has a wide range of plant life. Though considered a desert, it is not a desert in the strictest sense of the word. It is 360,000 square miles and stretches across Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.

The coldest temperature ever recorded in Antarctica was -128.6 degrees Fahrenheit (-89.2 degrees Celsius) at the Soviet Union's Vostok Station on July 21, 1983. This extreme low temperature was measured using satellite data.

Bamboo is considered a type of grass, not a herb, shrub, or tree. It is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world and is known for its tall, woody stems.

In the USA, the "Hot and Dry" desert biomes experiences less than 10 inches per year. However, I've spoken with more than a few desert museum-type docents, and several believe that less than four inches per year qualifies an area to be considered a desert.

There are three other types of desert to be found in the world. Their stats may vary. For more information, please see the related ink below.

Yes it can ... particularly if it becomes embedded under the skin. The body will make every effort to consume foreign items, such as thorns for instance, and if that thorn is infected in any way, the surrounding tissues can also become infected, causing what the medical community calls a skin ulcer. At that point, surgery may be required to cleanse the wound site from the infection and hopefully removed the thorn. Best advice is to have the thorn removed by a medical professional as soon as possible.
