A desert is any location on Earth that receives less than ten inches of rain per year. Deserts are extremely dry and may be either very hot or very cold. Hot deserts are extremely hot during the day and cold at night.
The world's deserts can be divided into five types—subtropical, coastal, rain shadow, interior, and polar. Deserts are divided into these types according to the causes of their dryness. Subtropical deserts are caused by the circulation patterns of air masses.
