For example, if scientists could find out how they survive in such extreme temperatures, engineers could possibly incorporate something into a suit and a man could walk on the sun or jump into a volcano!

I chose this topic because I wanted to know about the living conditions, how they were found, and how hot the hottest place on earth is.]]> 2020-10-05 22:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jordankulhanek/uachft6sntwxafp2/wish/804925938 Vocab: jordankulhanek https://padlet.com/jordankulhanek/uachft6sntwxafp2/wish/804948293 Interdunal: "An interdunal wetland, interdunal pond or dune slack is a water-filled depression between coastal sand dunes. It may be formed either by wind erosion or by dunal encroachment on an existing wetland."
Resilience: "the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness."
Aquatic: "relating to water."
Crustacean: "an arthropod of the large, mainly aquatic group Crustacea, such as a crab, lobster, shrimp, or barnacle."

"Located between 33° and 28° parallels and with its 51,800 km2 larger than Switzerland, this desert holds the current record for the highest ever-recorded surface temperature. Based on 2006 satellite measurements, NASA reported a record surface temperature of 70.7°C, which more recently has been increased to even 80.3°C. Dark pebbles that heat up are one of the causes of these record temperatures. Mean daily temperatures range from -2.6°C in winter to 50.4°C in summer with annual precipitation not exceeding 30 mm per year." "The desert receives the waters of the saline Rud-e-Shur River." "Almost deprived of vegetation, the Lut desert harbors a diverse animal life, but no permanent aquatic biotops (such as ponds)." "Aquatic life in the Lut remains highly limited, which makes this find particularly rare."

These freshwater lakes are formed by seasonal floods deriving from spring precipitations (March–April) in the surrounding areas. The flooded area consists of interdunal clay playas covered with a deep sand layer". "The water body has its greatest depth of 1.2 m, and relatively low salinity. The water temperature at the time of collection was 30.9°C."]]> 2020-10-05 23:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jordankulhanek/uachft6sntwxafp2/wish/804970267 Size: jordankulhanek https://padlet.com/jordankulhanek/uachft6sntwxafp2/wish/804981448 Female: 24.9–29.3 mm
