Deserts

The vast majority of the millions of people around the world who live in deserts reside in towns and cities where they can purchase almost any food they desire at markets, stores and restaurants. There is no standard desert menu for people around the world.

Mountains force the humid air from the sea to rise where the moisture condenses and falls as rain on the windward side of the mountains. The air passes to the leeward side but now lacks moisture forming a rain shadow desert. See the diagram above.

Any tall plant in any ecosystem is a vascular plant. Non vascular plants are generally small, just a few inches tall, with the exception of some marine plants.

It doesn't.

Red kangaroos are found only in Australia, and the Sahara Desert is not in Australia, but Africa.

Secondly, red kangaroos cannot live in any sandy desert. They require regular water and fresh vegetation. Red kangaroos can live in semi-arid areas, but these areas must have plenty of plants.

There are numerous amphibians that live in Africa. A few of the amphibians are the African bullfrog, Cape river frog, and the Ghost frog.

No, the vast majority of plants in the desert are not succulents. They are typical plants that have developed other means of living in an arid environment.

There are several species of vulture found throughout desert areas of the world as well as ravens that will scavenge dead animals.

Some animals of the desert are nocturnal - rodents, many snakes, for example. Others are about in the early morning and evening. Others may be abroad even during the hot hours of the day.
Some are nocturnal, some are diurnal and others are crepuscular.

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 shifts reinforce the emotional extreme's in Arsat's tale.

Desert homes have thick walls and small windows for the following reasons:

1. deserts are very hot in the day, but the thick walls and small windows never allow the daytime heat to reach the inside of the homes easily.

So the home remain relatively cool in the day when the outside is very hot.

2 Since it takes a long time for the heat to travel through the very thick walls, the heat reaches the inside of the home in the night.

But deserts are very cold in the night. It is so cold that you will almost be freezing. However the heat that successfully entered the home by night will keep you warm throughout the cold night.

The process repeats itself day and night.

The Chihuahaun Desert is found in far west Texas.

First of all the ice would melt and the penguins would be left to live on very hot rocks and since penguins for the most part need the cold they would swim to the north pole. Some will not make it if humans dont help and they might not even cope with the arctic life since its different. Basically the possibility of them going extinct is very high so take care of our planet so the south pole doesnt heat up :D

Well, The Great Victoria Desert receives only a little bit of rain, though not as little as one might suspect for a desert. Therainfallrange is around200 - 250 mma year, but the rain is unreliable! The Southern parts of the desert receives some winter rainfall, further north of the desert the only water source are thunderstorms- and they are isolated and unpredictable.

That would be Uluru, or Ayers Rock, which is a large sandstone rock formation in the southern part of the Northern Territory in central Australia. It has a desert-like climate but is actually semiarid and not a true desert.

The most extreme hot temperature in a hot desert reached a record of 159.3 degrees Fahrenheit in the daytime summer months in Gandom Beryan, a lifeless plateau in the Dasht-e Lut desert, Iran where it is covered in dark dry lava rocks. This could be because it is so dry allowing a lot of strong sunlight to bake the surface, it is very low elevated, and it lies near to 30 degrees latitude where air tends to sink increasing temperatures. Unlike the Dead Sea it doesn't have a water source to keep temperatures cooler so it stays a hot baking dry place.

The most extreme cold temperature in a polar desert reached a record of -132 degrees Fahrenheit in a dead winter calm clear night recorded in Vostok Station in Lake Vostok, Antarctica. It is so cold that the lake itself is covered with a 2 mile thick ice layer that never seasonally melts. This could be because since its in Antarctica, the largest polar desert in the world, it gets very low precipitation where it can be really dry where most of its heat radiates out into space at winter nights, during the daylight summer the angle of sunlight is always more spread out and doesn't really heat up the surface as much leaving cold daylight summers, it is in the middle of east Antarctica where elevation is usually high, and Lake Vostok is more like a shallow bowl where colder air can sink into.

Animals that live in the Arabian Desert are: dromedary camel, dung beetle, civet, Egyptian vulture, flamingo, fox, gazelle, hare, hedgehog, Arabian horse, hyena, ibex, jackal, jerboa, lesser bustard, lizard, locust, oryx, peregrine falcon, porcupine, sand cobra, scorpion, skink, veiled chameleon, and vipers.

Chile has the Atacama Desert in the west and it lies in the Southern Hemisphere.

So is/has/does Australia.

Some foods found in the desert are shrubs (seeds), and any plant seeds. Most animals eat smaller animals. For example, snakes eat lizards which each plant seeds.

Some examples of a desert producer would be cacti, shrubs and desert grass.

1. Roots are shallow and spread over a large area to collect as much water as possible.

2. Plants can store nutrients and water needed.

3. Have thorns instead of leaves to minimize water loss and keep animals away.

Desert pavement is a desert surface covered with closely packed, interlocking angular or rounded rock fragments of pebble and cobble size. Most have a shiny coating that contains clay minerals and looks much like a varnish.

very hard need lots of water and plants there are dangerous you could die of starvation and won't be hydrated. but it could be easy if u r prepared and fit.
