//DESERT BIOME!!//

Welcome to the Desert! At the end of this paragraph you will know everything you need to know and more about the desert. We’ll start of with the climate. Did you know that the desert get less than 10 inches of rain per year? Well we do, and most of it is just from humidity. Other than humidity, it can get very hot. In the summer, it can get up to 113˚F. In the winter it can go down to 45˚F. At night it can go below freezing. Deserts cover up more than ⅕ of the earths surface. Different animals live in different parts of the desert. Many animals are nocturnal so they wont be hot hunting or anything during the day. Some animals have bodies so that they can conserve water. I hope you learned a lot about the Desert!
