Explanation:

Cold desert are arid ecosystems which receive rainfall less than 25cm in a year. They are located in the interior of the continent and at high latitude, characterized by the temperate climatic condition – hot summer and chilled winter.

The hot deserts are mainly formed in tropical and subtropical regions whereas the cold deserts are found in temperate regions.
