$\huge\boxed{ Landforms of the Desert}$

$<i><u>Deserts are areas with dry air, little rain, very hot daytime temperatures, and lots of wind. They're often 100 degrees or more during the day, then 25 degrees or less at night, and the wind speeds can sometimes reach over 180 miles per hour! Because of their climate, deserts are unique and interesting, with landforms that are very different from other places. Desert landforms take shape because of the hot sun, limited rainfall, high winds, dry soil, and limited plant growth.$

$\huge\boxed{Mesas & Buttes}$

A mesa is a hill with steep sides and a flat top. A smaller mesa is sometimes called a butte. These landforms can also be called table mountains or table hills, because the word mesaactually means table in Spanish.

Scientists believe that mesas and buttes were formed when streams or rivers weathered and eroded away the smaller, softer rocks, leaving only the strong rock of the mesa or butte behind.
