Desert

Desert by Dan Weidow

The desert is dry not because it is hot but because it was frozen at one point. The heat would cause evaoration which causes rain but the cold freezes water which makes it dry when it thaws out. Animals living in these conditions have adapted to go days whithout water the plants have also adapted this way. The animals usualy live under ground to keep out of the heat durring the day and the cold of the night. The desert may be hot durring the day but at night it is very cold because the sand has released the heat it had absorbed so there is no heat source.

Death Valley is one of the deserts on earth today. Like all deserts it is hot durring the day and cold at night. The animals living there are the desert tortoise ,the cyote, and the sand fish.The plants are as shown. ,
