CLIMATE TEMPERATURES ANNUAL TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM 20 - 25 º C ( 68 - 77 º F ) EXTREME MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM 43 . 5 - 49 º C ( 110 . 3 - 120 . 2 º F ) MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SOMETIMES DROP TO -18 º C ( -0 . 4 º F ) THE ATMOSPHERE IN HOT & DRY DESERTS CONTAINS VERY LITTLE HUMIDITY TO BLOCK THE SUN’S RAYS THEREFORE, TEMPERATURES HAVE DAILY EXTREMES SUMMERS ARE EXTREMELY HOT GENERALLY WARM THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WINTERS BRING VERY LITTLE RAINFALL Hot & Dry Desert · Chris Jacques 2

CLIMATE PRECIPITATION RAINFALL IS VERY LOW IN HOT & DRY DESERTS 2 - 26 cm AVERAGE PER YEAR OF RAINFALL IN DESERTS EVAPORATION RATES EXCEED RAINFALL RATES SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN RAIN STARTS FALLING, IT EVAPORATES BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND THEY ARE EVEN RAINLESS SOME YEARS Hot & Dry Desert · Chris Jacques

OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS SOILS COARSE, SHALLOW, AND ROCKY GOOD DRAINAGE NO SUBSURFACE WATER SOILS ARE COARSE-TEXTURED BECAUSE THERE IS LESS CHEMICAL WEATHERING HEAVIER SAND PIECES ARE LEFT BEHIND WHEN FINER DUST AND SAND PARTICLES ARE BLOWN ELSEWHERE Hot & Dry Desert · Chris Jacques

POSITIVE & NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF HUMANS +/- POSITIVE & NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF HUMANS THE POPULATION OF HUMANS IN DESERTS IS VERY LOW. HOWEVER, A FEW GROUPS OF PEOPLE STILL TEND TO LIVE THERE DESPITE THE DANGERS OF THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES, VENOMOUS ANIMALS, AND THE FACT THAT IT IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY ENVIRONMENT FOR HUMANS. POSITIVE EFFECTS FROM DESERTS ARE THAT THEY ARE GOOD BARRIERS FOR CIVILIZATIONS. THEY PROVIDE GOOD PROTECTION FROM OUTSIDERS BECAUSE THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GO THROUGH AND THEY KILL MANY ENEMIES BY ITSELF. HUMANS HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON DESERTS BECAUSE THERE ARE SO FEW OF THEM THERE. THERE ISN’T ANY HUMAN GOING AND KILLING ALL OF THE DESERT TOADS UNTIL THEY BECOME EXTINCT. THAT WON’T HAPPEN IN A HOT & DRY DESERT. A NEGATIVE EFFECT OF HUMANS FROM HOT & DRY DESERTS IS THAT THEY ARE DEADLY ENVIRONMENTS. Hot & Dry Desert · Chris Jacques
