- Africa
- North America
- South America 
- Australia
- Asia
- Middle East]]> 2017-12-14 14:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216158220 Introduction to Desert Biomes emclaren https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216160769 Desert biomes are parts of nature that are dry, barren places that consist of rocks, sand and has little or no vegetation. 

This Padlet is to enthuse you with more information regarding information about desert biomes. ]]> 2017-12-14 14:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216160769 What makes a desert unique? emclaren https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216162558 What makes a desert unique apart from other biomes because of the lack of rain it receives compared to other biomes (Ex: rainforest). What also makes this biome unique is that the plants and animals that live on these types of biomes are able to adapt to their environments even though the temperature etc changes constantly. ]]> 2017-12-14 14:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216162558 Sahara Desert Temperature Graph: emclaren https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216164540 When viewing this temperature graph for the Sahara Desert you can average highest and lowest temperatures. The gap between the two lines is very wide, but it's there to help emphasis how cold it can become during the morning and night. That also goes for when the temperatures rise during the afternoon. ]]> 2017-12-14 14:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216164540 Sahara Desert Precipitation Graph: emclaren https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216165141 This graph is here to show that in the Sahara Desert (biome example) doesn't receive that much precipitation year around. It usually exceeds a minimum of 133mm. There's less than 130mm of cumulative rain (every year). ]]> 2017-12-14 14:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216165141 Sources for Padlet emclaren https://padlet.com/emclaren/u2fggtkxlkow/wish/216165376 Here are the sources/websites I used for my padlet:

  1. Varying temperatures
  2. Low rainfall
  3. Precipitation (connected to Low Rainfall)
  4. Water availability

The majority of deserts are characterized by the amounts of rainfall (precipitation) that they receive year-round.
