Deserts

A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation on average per year. Some deserts receive virtually no rainfall for decades.

Bethlehem is in/near the Negev Desert of Israel.

A fertile place in the desert where there is water and some vegetation is sometimes referred to as an oasis. This area often contains an abundance of wildlife.

it is mostly hot and dry

The southwest United States has the most deserts.

the lut desert has extreme tempretures of up to 71 degrees celcius.the hottest place on earth. by the way lut desert is sexy

Most deserts are west of the Rocky Mountains.

Great question! Temperatures in the Gobi Desert can range considerably over the course of a year. The coldest temperature the Gobi Desert falls to, on average, is -40°F (-40°C) in the winter months.

All regions of Fiji receive more rainfall than a desert.

A desert is defined as having an annual rainfall of less than 500mm.
The lowest annual rainfall in Fiji is 1500-3000mm on some outlying islands. On the mainland the annual rainfall is 2000-3000mm on the coast and lowland areas, and up to 6000mm in mountainous areas.

The desert is cold at night. This is because there are no clouds or trees to hold in the heat.

Each desert is different and has its own climate statistics. A "summer day" in Antarctica may actually warm up to about 10 degrees F. but can drop to nearly minus 140 degrees F. in winter. The Mojave, on the other hand, may have a daytime temperature of more than 130 degrees F and a nightime of 80 to 90 degrees.

All the above statistics depend a great deal on the specific location in the desert.

The Sahara is the second largest desert in the world (Antarctica is number one) and it is located in northen Africa,

Arizona is tremendously hotter than Alaska.

The Gobi Desert is third behind Antarctica and the Sahara.

There are a dozen or more deserts in Australia, ranging in size from hundreds of thousands of square kilometre to just thousands of square kilometres. Basically, the deserts extend right through central Australia, to parts of the western coast, and south through the Nullarbor Plain to the Great Australian Bight. There are no deserts along the eastern coast.

The Taklamakan Desert is located in northwest China. More specifically, it is located in Xinjiang. The desert has an area of 130,116 square miles.

The largest and coldest desert in the world is the continent of Antarctica.

I went to Google "desert tortoise" and before I even finished typing the ninth suggestion down was "desert tortoise preserve committee" and clicking on it shows you their site that's all about them 'Working to conserve the endangered desert tortoise by protecting the habitat it needs to survive.'

I didn't even have to search for it, it was just there. I'm sorry but you obviously didn't look at all. Also Googling "desert tortoise" links you to sites that tell you everything else you need to know.

The hottest air temperature ever reliably recorded in a desert was 134 degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in California on July 10, 1913. An even warmer temperature of 136 degrees was recorded a few years later in Libya but that has been discounted as inaccurate as it was not properly measured by untrained Italian soldiers. A recent ground temperature was measured by a satellite in Iran that was even hotter but the ground temperature does not reflect the temperature of the air above it. Anyone who has walked barefoot over an asphalt parking lot in summer can attest to that.

The savannah is a semi-arid transition zone bordering a desert.

nothing

but there is one good point about a desert. Desert animals that have adapt to desert life live there and for example if the pinguin was taken out of Antartica and put in Australia its its natural outback heat, it would adventually die. Deserts may be arid but they are full of life and people live there as well! The good thing about a desert is that at least it isn't a total wasteland but full of unique creatures that have adapt and live in the desert!

As you should know, life can be found pretty much anywhere. Even in extreme conditions. But, the actual life form can be very diverse. Water Lilies, for example, are found in ponds and lakes. What if you were to transfer this plant to a desert such as the Sahara? It almost surely die. The reason for that is that it didn't evolve for that kind of climate. It needs a sufficient amount of water in order to live. The Cactus, however, is designed to store a lot of water. It can survive the harsh desert climate. So why is cactus found in the desert? It is just another example of life evolving to its surroundings.

Thank you.

The Antarctic Desert is considerably larger than the United States.
