Deserts

There are many scavengers that live in the desert:

Vultures or buzzards

Crows and ravens

Coyotes and foxes

Hyenas

Even such animals such as lions, cougars, bobcats, etc., will take advantage of a free meal.

Yes, they are called rainshadow deserts because the mountains prevent atmospheric moisture from coming into the desert.

Cacti grow in hot, dry, areas. In Texas, this is the southwestern part of the State (Big Bend National Park) and along the western border with New Mexico.

A small population of Arabian leopards (Panthera pardus nimr) survives in the southern Negev. The Negev Totoise (Testudo werneri) is found in the western and central Negev. And the Negev Shrew (Crocidura ramona) is found only in Israel.

Well there are lizards and camels, there is the addax and the African spurred tortoise and the striped hyena, there is the scimitar horned oryx and there is the fennec fox and the Arabian horse. There is the Arabian hare, the desert hedgehogs, mice and rats. There is the Indian wolf, the Arabian wolf and the red Arabian wolf if.

That would depend upon the climate of the particular desert. In most hot deserts, mammals usually do not hibernate but cold blooded animals, such as snakes and lizards do. Some cold blooded animals go through a summer estivation (summer hibernation) period during the really hot and dry parts of the year. In some cold deserts, mammals may hibernate during the coldest part of winter.

Light waves are always refracted to some degree by convection currents and vertical refractivity gradients in air. That's why astronomers want to see starlight that has passed through as little air as possible. It's also the reason that the legends of flying horses and magic carpets originated in the regions with the hottest deserts.

A desert receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall per year on average. If it averages more that this, it is not a desert.

The answer is DESERTIFICATION

During the periods when there is no sunrise, you can walk outside with ease lit by stars and aurora. During the days before and after a full moon, you can read a book outside by moonlight and starlight.

Since 1922, the world's hottest recorded temperature had been credited to Al Aziziyah, Libya, where a reading of 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit was reported in September of that year.

NASA satelites have recorded higher temperatures than anywhere else on Earth, the extreme being a "land skin temperature" of 159.3 °F (70.7 °C) in 2005 at Dasht-e Lūt, or Lut Desert, a vast salt pan in Iran.

The weather station at Furnace Creek in Death Valley where the hottest temperature ever recorded, a whopping 134 degrees Fahrenheit (56.7 degrees Celsius), was reached on July 10, 1913.

The Karakum Desert is in Turmenistan, in central Asia east of the Caspian Sea.

During the summer (May-September) it gets very hot during the day, but can still get very cold at night, like most deserts. The rocks will hold some heat, but there is not much moisture in the air, so much of the surface heat radiates away once the Sun goes down.

During the winter, it is mild to cold most of the time.

Stay away from all animals in the desert, or any other biome. Observe them from a distance but make no effort to bother them in any manner. They are all a natural and important part of the biome and deserve to be left to their own lives without interference. Some are potentially dangerous to humans but few will attack a human if left alone.

Both the Colorado Plateau Desert and the Chihuahuan Desert are found in New Mexico.

yes it is called a frozen desert because it has little rain fall just like a desert and very small amount of plant life similar to a desert

A cactus has no leaves but does have a stem.

Mulga is a plant specially adapted to desert conditions, and its seeds are eaten by the mulga parrot. The chisel-toothed kangaroo rat eats the salty leaves of the saltbush, which also contain the water they need. The spinifex hopping mouse eats the roots and seeds of desert grasses such as spinifex. The white plumed honey-eater eats the nectar of the Sturt's Desert Pea, enabling pollination to occur.

There are no true deserts in Japan.

It is considered a cold desert and the driest desert on earth.

The Chihuahuan Desert of far west Texas and southern New Mexico is the closest desert to South Carolina.

The Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) is south of the Mojave Desert.

The different animals that live in the Namib Desert are desert elephants, ostriches, darkling beetles, onyxes, snakes, and geckos. The Namib Desert is in the southern region of Africa.
