  • Summer creates a layer of permafrost that never goes away, creating shallow lakes
  • During long winter months the sun barely rises and it’s dark most of the day
  • In Winter temperature 20 degrees fahrenheit is the highest and the average is -20 and -30 degrees 
  • Precipitation: 6-10 inches including melted snow

  • A hot and dry desert doesn’t usually have many plants, and the ones they have are low down plants. This is because it is too hot for most plants to survive.
  • The temp. In a hot desert would usually range from 20-25 degrees, however the extreme maximum temp. For hot deserts can range from 43.5-49 degrees. 
  • Hot and dry deserts don’t usually have much rainfall, but when they do it is in short periods between long periods of no rainfall. There is usually an average of 15 cm of rain a year
  • Deserts can be found all over the world, however most hot and dry deserts are near the tropic of cancer, or the tropic of capricorn.
  • Most of the vegetation in deserts are cacti, such as the Barrel cactus and the Chain Fruit Cholla, shrubby plants like the Mojave Aster and plants with thick trunks like the Joshua Tree.

    - Rainfall: 250 millilitres on average each year 

    - Where: Antarctica, Arctic, Greenland. Typically in regions the furthest away from the equator. 

    -Polar ice region can also be classed as deserts as they have minimal rainfall ]]>     2017-10-12 04:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tamarae20/gztng2v8wd9/wish/196276049     Coniferous Forest molliem20 https://padlet.com/tamarae20/gztng2v8wd9/wish/196684084
