difference between tropical desert type of climate and Temperate desert type of climate. (Two points each).
Answers
Explanation:
Temperate deserts can be much colder than tropical deserts, averaging less than 10 degrees Celsius. Although the amount of precipitation is less than 100 cm/year for both deserts, temperate deserts have significantly less rainfall than the tropical desert.
*Tropical deserts are located in regions between 5 and 30 degrees latitude. Environment is very extreme. They have the highest average monthly temperature on Earth. Rainfall is sporadic; precipitation may not be observed at all in a few years
*In addition to these extreme environmental and climate conditions, most tropical deserts are covered with sand and rocks, and thus too flat and lacking in vegetation to block out the wind.
Temperate Desert
A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to the processes of denudation
About one-third of the land surface of the world is arid or semi-arid. This includes much of the polar regions, where little precipitation occurs, and which are sometimes called polar deserts or "cold deserts
