Deserts

There are a variety of animals in the desert. Some eat plants, some are carnivores. Plant eaters form the base if any food chain. If there are no animals at the bottom of the food chain that eat plants, life could not be sustained in the desert. Such animals as insects, rats, mice, rabbits, hares, antelope, deer, some lizards, etc. are plant eaters and provide prey for carnivores.

the egyptians lived in the desert because there enemies or other civilizations occupied the surrounding land. besides they had surviving conditions so they didnt have to move. the nile flooded each year spreading fertile soil across the Sahara so farmers could grow food for the rest of the year.

Typically, the Taklamakan Desert in western China is considered to be the deadliest due to its extremely low temperatures, being around -15 degrees F. The name translated literally means, "you go in and you don't come out".

Each desert has its own climatic data so you would have to provide a specific location. Some deserts, such as parts of the Sahara and Mojave, may exceed 130 degrees F. during the day while Antarctica may punge to minus 100 degrees F. or more.

The hottest temperature in the world ever measured reliably was 134 degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert. In the summer it is not unusual for temperatures to approach or exceed 120 degrees F.

The desert could be all that remains of an ancient shallow sea. As the land rose, or the sea receded, the sea water evaporated leaving salt amongst the grains of sand. As deserts don't usually have high rainfall, the salt grains won't be leached away.

Deserts can provide little shelter from the sun and the heat. Offers challenges for animals and plants. Deserts have sudden intense rain fall that causes flooding. In deserts, the extreme maximum temperature ranges from 43.5-49 degrees C. Minimum temperature some times (but rarely) drop to -18 degrees C. Soils are course textured, shallow, rocky or gravely with good drainage and have no subsurface water. Our conclusion is deserts are dry and hot and have little to no available sources of water.

Yes, there are rivers that pass through deserts. A few examples -

the Nile passes through the Sahara.

the Rio Grande flows through the Chihuahuan Desert

the Colorado River flows through the Mojave Desert

The Tigris and the Euphrates Rivers flow through the deserts of Iraq.

Baobab trees are one type of tree that can grow in the african desert. Due to it's enormous trunk, it can survive in harsh terrains that don't provide sufficient water. It's the tree that Rafiki from Lion King lives in. Bushwillow is the most common, Jackalberry trees, Marula trees, and Buffalothorns are a few to name too.

Dandelions require more water than the average desert can provide.

Once a part of an ancient interior sea, the desert was formed by volcanic action (lava surfaces with cinder cones are present) and by material deposited by the Colorado River.

Many deserts are rain shadow deserts. Mountain ranges block the flow of moisture from the ocean and cause it to fall on the windward side. The dry air then passes over the mountains to the leeward side and there is no moisture left so a rain shadow desert forms. See the diagram above,

The weather or climate, in the Mexican Desert's can reach temperatures of more than 110 degrees Fahrenheit, or 45 Celsius, it is dry most of the year with the biggest variety of cactus in the world.

It is usually called an oasis.

This would depend of the type of mouse. Here are some examples:
The cactus mouse, canyon mouse and Merriam's mouse all eat seeds, mesquite beans and leaves, and to a lesser extent, green vegetation, and insects.

Grasshopper mice are predators, hunting insects, beetles, grasshoppers, and scorpions, but they also hunt and kill other mice.

Cotton rats eat mostly green plants and grasses. woodrats eat mesquite beans, palo verde seeds, green plants, and cacti, particularly prickly pears and chollas, which provide them with moisture as well as food. Occasionally they eat insects or other meat.

Extremey hot climates such as the Sahara desert ( equatorial ) or Extremely Cold climates such as Antarctica. The desert part refers to there being no or very little rain fall or liquid water in these places.

Every desert has different statistics but, in general, a desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year on average. Some deserts receive virtually no rainfall. It may fall as rain, snow, hail or sleet depending on the location and season of the year.

Most hot deserts are located near the tropics where the sunlight is most intense in the summer. Also, deserts generally have few clouds or humidity that would act as a shield against the sunlight.

*Rare clouds

*low vegetation

*little rainfall

*etc.

* high temperatures due to rapid radiation loss

*Coarse sand soils because mechanical weathering dominates there due to high temperature and low rainfall

Even in winter the coastal desert usually will have highs in the 60s (degrees F.) and nights are pleasant but a jacket would be needed. On rare ocassions the temperature may drop below freezing briefly at night in the winter. Summers rarely see temperatures above 80 degrees although a temperature of 90 degrees is not unknown. The coastal deserts have their temperature moderated by cold ocean currents so do not experience the extreme temperatures of other deserts.

The South Pole, which is located in Antarctica, is a desert. The North Pole is not located on a continent but on sea ice so cannot be considered as a desert. Continental lands that do surround the Arctic would be considered as tundra.
