There are four different types of desert biomes which include semiarid, coastal, hot and dry, and cold deserts. Deserts typically have very little to no rain, but if they get rain it's only about under 15 cm a year. Because there is little precipitation vegetation is not common in deserts. Although there are low growing plants. Since the desert biome is very dry the plants and animals have adapted to surviving off of small amounts of water. The temperature in the desert can be approximately 113 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and at night can be as low as 32 degrees  Fahrenheit. ]]> 2019-09-16 13:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/384643900 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/385279507 The climate in the desert biome can be extremely hot and dry. Temperature in a hot and dry desert ranges from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. The climates in a hot and dry desert can develop from high-pressure zones in which cold air penetrates. Deserts have two specific seasons which are summer and winter. Summer time in the desert is when the temperature ranges between 35-40 degrees Celsius. Winter in the desert is when the temperature ranges between 20-30 degrees Celsius ]]> 2019-09-17 13:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/385279507 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/385341237 There is very little rainfall that changes with the months. The temperature can be very hot to a normal temperature depending on what month it is. ]]> 2019-09-17 14:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/385341237 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386526440 The latitude of the desert biome is approximately located around 30 degrees North and 30 degrees South of the equator. The altitude of the desert biome is ranging from about 3000-5000ft. above sea level. The closer to the equator the biome is the more isolation it receives which can determine how hot or cold the biome is.  ]]> 2019-09-19 12:24:00 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386526440 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386534559 Most of the topography in the desert biome has been formed over time due to wind. The structures ina desert may include sand dunes, sand seas, barren stone plateaus, gravel plains, dry valleys, and salt flats. The topography of this biome may affect the isolation by the altitude of the sun and biome. Since the desert biome is closer to the equator it is more humid and very hot. The closer to the equator the more direct sunlight the desert is getting. ]]> 2019-09-19 12:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386534559 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386541871 Plants in the desert may include cactus, shrubs, prickly pears, camel thorn tree, and saguaro. Animals (and insects) may include snakes, lizards, scorpions, tarantulas, dingo, porcupines and coyotes. Plants and animals living in the desert have adapted to surviving with small amounts of water. Many plants such as the cactus have prickly pines or fuzz to keep the water trapped inside to use for later. Animals like snakes may burrow underground during the day to keep cool in the extreme heats and then do most of their scavenging at night, ]]> 2019-09-19 12:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386541871 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386549621 1) The Acacia tree has adapted to the deserts hot and dry climate by its small sized leaves which help them limit the water they lose. The Acacia tree has long, sharp thorns that help protect it from herbivores trying to eat it. The Acacia tree also has long tap roots that reach the ground water sources. The long tap roots can help the Acacia tree survive without lots of water. This tree has also adapted by fire resistant
2) The Date Palm has adapted to the desert by having large leaves that help to keep it cool in the heat. They also have long stems to help them collect water. The Date Palm can use its stem to spray the soil around it. ]]> 2019-09-19 12:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386549621 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386559641 2019-09-19 13:10:30 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386559641 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386562052 Date Palm ]]> 2019-09-19 13:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386562052 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386563118 2019-09-19 13:15:03 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386563118 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386563694 2019-09-19 13:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386563694 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386565502 2019-09-19 13:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386565502 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386566917 2019-09-19 13:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386566917 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386567233 2019-09-19 13:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386567233 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386569579 2019-09-19 13:23:29 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386569579 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386570828 2019-09-19 13:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386570828 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386571952 2019-09-19 13:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386571952 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386572799 2019-09-19 13:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386572799 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386575369 Date Palm, Acacia Tree, Tamarix ]]> 2019-09-19 13:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386575369 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386576123 Jerboa, Gazelle, Camel ]]> 2019-09-19 13:31:45 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386576123 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386576851 Deathstalker Scorpion, Sand Viper Snake, Fennec Fox ]]> 2019-09-19 13:32:43 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386576851 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386578182 Cheetah ]]> 2019-09-19 13:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386578182 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386578513 As you move up throughout the trophic pyramid the energy and biomass decrease. The producers have 100% of the energy because they get their energy from the sun. The primary consumers get 10% of their energy from the producers. The secondary consumers get 1% of their energy from the producers. Last, but not least the Tertiary consumer gets .1% of their energy from the producers. ]]> 2019-09-19 13:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386578513 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386583060 1) The deathstalker Scorpion has adapted to the deserts hot and dry climate by burrowing underground to keep cool. This scorpion has a very strong exoskeleton that can prevent it from being crushed or harmed by other animals. The Deathstalker has a very flexible diet that allows them to survive off of as little as 2 insects a year. They don't really drink water, but they do get fluids from their prey. 
2) The Sand Viper Snake has adapted by having the ability to blend in with the sand. The Sand Viper may burrow undergound to stay cool during the day in the hot climate. They have horn like structures that can protect their eyes from being damaged.  They can save water by only releasing small amounts of urine and the water in their system is stored for whenever they need it. ]]> 2019-09-19 13:40:00 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386583060 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386599456 2019-09-19 13:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386599456 patiencewilson https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386600525 Global warming can be a threat to deserts because it increases the chance of drought. It can also eventually cause wildfires due to lack of hydration and an extreme increase in temperature. Global warming can dry up water holes which can be very harmful to plants and animals since water is such a major need for them. Another threat to the desert biome is the deposit of oil, gas, and nuclear waste as this action can be lethal to plants and animals. Humans aslo play a threatening role to the desert biome when they use off road vehicles as they can destroy an animals habitat and plants. ]]> 2019-09-19 14:00:38 UTC https://padlet.com/patiencewilson/onsmxftz7p7s/wish/386600525
