2. • Depending on the Location & other things there are
different temperatures but most of the deserts have
round about the same , in summer deserts can get up to
OVER 100 & Winter it can cool down 50 . But did you
know that at night the desert can cool down to below
0,( it’s a TRUE fact.) As Every body would probably
Know its very humid in the desert because of rain and
heat. Nobody really knows how this is caused.
• The desert is the hottest place on earth but as the
climate starts to cool down in 10,000 more years or
more, the desert will not be as hot. If we have a really
hot summer (for example 2009) some deserts can get up
to 100 degrees but that is very rare.

4. The sea covers a lot of earth but the desert covers
about 30%-50% of our earth.
In deserts, for example the Great Sandy Desert the
animals find it very hard to survive in hot conditions like
the wild dog & lizards. Did you know that the Gobi
Desert is cold for most of the year? Most animals are
found at dawn or dusk especially Snakes. They are found
mostly at dusk because they tend to kill prey when they
don't expect it or are sleeping but its hard to kill if it is a
rabbit or something because they are in a burrow. Dawn
is a bit different because animals are waking up and they
have more of a chance of escaping.

6. There are not many animals in a desert and that is
because of the food chain the animals are eating
other for survival, So many are becoming endangered
for example the Grater Bilby. Some animals are also
becoming endangered because of the wether and
humidity animals for example wild rabbits and some
reptiles, although some animals have very intelligent
skills of survival especially the Fox and Spotted
Hyena. Compared to the grasslands the desert is
nearly close to being the same but that wont happen
because of the animals, animals is a big thing for
desert and scientists are putting tracking devices on
most animals to check for how they hunt and what
they hunt.
