Deserts

The Thar Desert, India's largest desert, is in northwest India on the border with Pakistan.

There are over 2 dozen major desert regions in the world and each has its own specific statistics. However, a desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of average precipitation each year on average.

it just needs less than 10 inches of rain. that's it

Water occurs in rivers that pass through some deserts and some deserts have natural lakes and ponds. Water is also found in an oasis where ground water comes to the surface in the form of a spring or in wells dug by natives of the area. As none of these resources can always be safe for humans to drink, you would be best to take along safe drinking water you visit a desert.

biotic factors refer to factors that are living. For example, plant and animal life

Although it can get quite hot in the Great Basin Desert in summer, it is considered as a cold winter desert.

Far north Africa - desert, in particular the Sahara; below that is the Saheel, which is a transition zone between the desert and the Savannah's. South of the Savannah you then get sub-tropical jungles and then tropical jungles of central Africa (which stretch along the equator).

Amphibians are found in the desert but are usually only seen after a heavy summer rain. They spend most of the year underground. At that time they can be quite numerous in certain areas. Another animal that is often the symbol of the desert, at least in the United States, would be a rattlesnake. While they do inhabit the desert, they remain hidden most of the time. One can spend years hiking in the desert and never encounter a rattlesnake. They see you but you rarely see them.

Generally, no. Most deserts have few clouds and little humidity which would normally act as a blanket to hold in heat. At night, the heat of the desert quickly radiates back into space and the desert can become quite chilly.

The fertile spot in the desert is called oasis. This spot where the elevation is low enough that the water table is right underneath the surface, resulting in the presence of springs.

Yes, all deserts experience a winter season. In cold deserts the winter can be bitterly cold with snow. In hot deserts the winters are generally quite mild. However, under unusual conditions, even hot deserts can have short periods of cold temperatures and even the occasional snow storm.

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.

The Gobi Desert is the coldest desert in Mongolia. It is located in the southern part of the country on the border with China.

There are only 2 deserts the Kalahari Desert and the Namib Desert. :)

An oasis is an area of the desert that has a permanent water supply, usually a spring. This water allows more plants to grow. It receives the same rainfall as the surrounding desert. The spring provides the water for plant growth.

Millions of people around the world live in deserts and the vast majority (over 99%) live in cities and towns where they have access to nearly all the same amenities as would be found in towns and cities not in a desert. Living in a desert is not all that difficult. Look at such cities as Cairo, Egypt, or Las Vegas Nevada, or Phoenix, Arizona.

Some abiotic factors of the Sonoran Desert are sand and soil. Other factors are the temperature in the area, as well as the little water that is available.

There are coyotes, foxes, peccaries, tarantulas, scorpions, ring tailed cats, antelope, skunks, mule deer, camal, snakes, lizards, hawks, flacons, owls, roadrunners, buzzards, eagles, ground squirrls, pairie dogs, boars, and in some places, lions and elephants.

In the Sahara, people adapted by their clothing, shelter, and activities. During the midday sun people generally stay sheltered and have an early afternoon rest or nap they don't sit around in the sun and if they go out in the day they cover up with loose clothes to keep themselves shaded cool. Their houses have been built to resist heat so it is cool inside, without air-conditioning. People of the deserts know where to find food and water, or how to go about acquiring it. They don't eat 3 big meals a day, they eat about 5 small meals. There are more people out and about in the evening, when it is cooler.

The summer months are from October to April, the hottest being between November and February averaging 20 to 36 degrees celcius. During the winter months the temperature is generally between 18 and 22 degrees celcius, with the minimum range between 6 and 10 degrees celcius.
