https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel This padlet is going to be about the desertic biome. We'll cover some of its aspects in this beautiful padlet. en-us 2018-02-14 11:25:27 UTC 2023-02-13 13:29:45 UTC hello@padlet.com https://www.symmetrymagazine.org/standard-model/images/standard_model_ai_s2.png Fredegarius https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/231435651 The Desertic biome is known for its low rainfall. There are four major types of desert in this biome - hot and dry, semiarid, coastal, and cold. They are all able to inhabit plant and animal life that are able to survive there.]]> 2018-02-14 11:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/231435651 Fredegarius https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/231438040 2018-02-14 11:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/231438040 Fredegarius https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/231443057 Temperatures can vary according to the daytime and the type of desert.


-Hot and Dry: In the day up to 50ºC and in the night down to -18ºC.

-Semiarid: In the day up to 38ºC and in the night down to 6ºC.

-Coastal desert: In the day up to 30ºC and in the night down to -5ºC.

-Cold desert: In the day up to 25ºC and in the night down to -5ºC.]]> 2018-02-14 11:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/231443057 Fredegarius https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/232864537 Deserts can be classified by 2 aspects:

-Hot or Cold:
Depending on their average temperatures, deserts can be organized as hot: high temperatures in summer, strong winds, extremely low precipitation, low huidity; or cold: low temperatures, very low precipitation, dry air.

-Semi-arid or Coastal: 
Depending on their localization, deserts can be organized as Semi-arid: located in continental areas; extreme temperatures; large rainfall, vegetation and humidity; or Coastal: located in edges of continental areas; low temperatures; low rainfall; large vegetation and humidity.]]> 2018-02-19 10:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/232864537 Fredegarius https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/238106248 Deserts are known for their low precipitation. It can vary accordint to the desert type:

-Hot and Dry: Average rainfall of 12 cm/year. Rain oftenly evaporates before reaching the ground.

-Semiarid: Average rainfall of 4 cm/year. Rain rate is overtaken by plant's dew condensation rate.

-Coastal: Average rainfall of 11cm/year. During night time, plants and animals do transpiration which evaporates during the day.

-Cold desert: Average rainfall of 24cm/year. Precipitation falls in the shape of ice and snow.]]> 2018-03-05 14:48:31 UTC https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/238106248 Fredegarius https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/238170984 2018-03-05 16:16:10 UTC https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/238170984 Fredegarius https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/238172469 Some plants that grow in deserts are:

Higher temperatures may produce an increasing number of wildfires that alter desert landscapes by eliminating slow-growing trees and shrubs and replacing them with fast-growing grasses.]]> 2018-03-05 16:28:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Fredegarius/DesertBiomeStringTheoryStandardModel/wish/238179929
