Climate change is a threat to the desert. This can cause many plants to die as well as the animals. The hotter temp. causes a higher risk for wildfires. Human exploration is also causing severe droughts and soil erosion.

Desert animals have adapted to the biome by preventing water loss from their body's.
Lizards- they build burrows during the day to keep from getting too hot, and come out at night to hunt for food.
Ants- these little tiny animals have long legs and black body radiation that protects themselves from the hot day.

Desert plants have adapted to the desert by drought tolerance, they are able to go long periods at a time without water.
cacti- spikes help cacti to protect itself from animals trying to find water.
succulent plants- thick waxy skin to reduce water loss and reflect sunlight. The plants surface roots quickly take a hold of the water and absorb it.

a biome with a dry climate and very little precipitation making it hard for animal life because there isn't much water or food here.

# data[].attributes.body
The temperature in this biome will go up to 100 degrees or higher during the day, at night it tends to drop to around 20 degrees.

This graph here shows month by month how much precipitation they have that month as well as the change of temperature.

Deserts are located at low latitudes and altitude can range from 1300 feet and 1,000 feet. This effects the deserts because the lower the altitude the hotter the temperatures are going to be.

These hot deserts can contain features like mountains, canyons or valleys. Most of the day the sun is out and shinning or if not its rare to have cloudy days in the desert.

When you think of a desert you don't really think you would find animal life or plant life here but actually you do. There are camels, frogs, spiders, lizards, jackrabbits, and quite a few more animals. They live in burrows underground and come out at night to avoid heat and plants have adapted to this climate by decreasing the steam size so it can focus on water. Examples of plants in the desert are, wild flowers, cactus, and weathered trees.
