Deserts

it goes into the minuses depending on the desert

Most reptiles and amphibians in the Sonoran Desert hibernate during the coldest months of winter and estivate (summer hibernation) during the hottest summer months. Few, if any, mammals have a need to hibernate as the weather is quite mild in winter.

The sky above the desert is usually very clear (unless of course there is a sandstorm).

During the day in hot deserts, the sun rises to a very high altitude, possibly reaching zenith depending on the context - which makes the temperature rise to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

At night time, once the sun is below the horizon, the cloudless sky radiates all the heat back into space therefore the temperature plummets to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, thus the sun is as low in the desert at night as it is at solar noon at both poles in the winter!

This is also the same reason why other bodies (such as Mercury and the Moon) also have very high daytime temperatures (and very low nighttime temperatures).

Cuba is an island, so there are no deserts in Cuba. And I was looking for the same thing but didn't find anything. Sorry :(
There are many deserts ,some are: Sahara Desert - North/East Africa Gobi Desert - China

It can vary according to the mixture of materials. Desert sand can range from white to pale yellow to tan. The soil in an oasis, improved by decomposing leaves, can be a deep brown or black.

In deserts caused by lava eruptions, a major component may be dark gray and black ash.

No. Denmark is in northern Europe. It is very far north so it has snow and trees.

The saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] is found in the Sonoran desert. The desert is so called, because of its main location in Sonora, Mexico. But the desert also stretches into the United States of America.

The sky tends to be cloudless and so, lots of heat (the one stored on the ground/sand) can irradiate to outerspace. Plus, there is little humidity in the air. Would there be more humidity, it would act as a temperature buffer. The sky tends to be cloudless and so, lots of heat (the one stored on the ground/sand) can irradiate to outerspace.

The Himalayas are located in a total of ten states. They include Mizoram, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Jammu and Kashmir.

The Simpson Desert is one of several deserts in Australia, and covers about 180,000 square kilometres in central Australia, spanning the Northern Territory, Queensland and South Australia. It is the fourth-largest desert in Australia. There are no maintained roads across the desert, but numerous 4Wd tracks. In 2008, for the first time, the Simpson Desert was closed to tourists from December 1 until mid-March in 2009. This was because of the high costs of rescuing tourists who foolishly try to cross the desert or take on the sand-dunes in the hottest months of the year. It is also to prevent the deaths that occur from this. However, it is also for the health of the desert - to give the desert some time to "regenerate" from the many tourists also. The Simpson Desert has some interesting things to see. These include: * Dalhousie Springs, where you can enjoy hot springs * Kaliduwarry Waterhole, a permanent supply which stretches for some 30 kilometres * the Birdsville Track * the Old Ghan Heritage Track * Chambers Pillar, a 50m sandstone pillar rising up from the desert plain * the Ewaninga Rock Carvings Conservation Reserve * Poeppel Corner, a remote spot where where three state borders meet * incredible red-orange, rippling sand dunes - there are over 1100 sand dunes all running parallel in a north-south direction * colourful sunrises and sunsets, unlike those you will see anywhere else

It is named for the Mexican state of Sonoran where much of the desert is located.

The Mojave Desert is probably the most famous. The Great Basin Desert is also very extensive along the northeastern parts of California and has its own claims to fame. The Colorado Desert (west of the Colorado River) is generally low, hot and dry enough to be famous in its own right, but is often not distinguished from the Mojave Desert.

Pretoria is the nearest city to Johannesburg. Other cities which are quite close to Johannesburg are Bloemfontein and Durban.

The largest desert in the world is Antarctica. The hottest desert is the Mojave Desert at Death Valley. In 1913 the hottest temperature ever reliably recorded on earth in any desert was recorded at 134 degrees F,

No, they are distinct biomes. The savanna receives more rain than a typical desert and is abe to support more species of plants and animals.

A Desert Climatogram is a graph that shows the temperature and rainfall, for each month in the year, for the Desert.

Your question is an oxymoron. If a region is semi-desert, it is not a desert. A desert receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall on average per year. A semiarid region receives 10 inches to 20 inches (500 mm) and is not a desert. It is a distinct biome.

Two adaptations of desert plants are:

1. The roots' ability to wick up water very fast and efficiently on those rare occasions that water is available.

2. The thick, waxy skin, or outer layer of the plant, which reduces transpiration of water into the surrounding air.

Temperate deserts of continental regions have low rainfall and strong temperature contrasts between summer and winter. Subtropical deserts usually have a very hot summer but a mild winter. Temperate deserts may be quite hot in summer, also, but have winters that can be bitterly cold.

A savanna is a transition grassland between a desert and another biome.

Arizona has four major deserts:

Chihuahuan Desert in the southeast

Sonoran Desert in the central and west

Colorado Plateau Desert in the northeast.

Mojave Desert in the southwest

The largest desert in California is the Mojave Desert.

The western side of the mighty Indian Western Ghats rise majestically to over 2500 meters above mean sea level to capture the moisture laden trade winds that blow annually once over the India sub-continent. The location of these mountain ranges is such that the South-West Monsoon that break over the southern most tip of the peninsula during the last week of May, block the winds and they steadily rise against the mountain to condense rapidly and give copious rains on the western side. Consequently the eastern side is typically known as the rain shadow region, except those regions that lie close to the natural passes or gaps in these ranges.

Though many people think of the Arabian desert as miles and miles of arid sand, it is not!

Flat sandy areas and dunes are also there, but also there are areas of flat stoney ground. If water is not too far below the surface, plants may be able to survive, and form an oasis.
