DESERT

Are you ready for the great sales in the desert? If you want this you have a choice of going to Australia, mid Asia, Southern California, or Northern Africa.

Deserts have an average temperature of 64 degrees. When people think of desert they usually think hot but that isn’t true. A desert is just a very area. The deserts global area covers 1/5 of all the land on earth. Approximately only one inch of rain falls a year in the desert.

With this great deal we also have a list of equipment you should bring during this trip. If you are going to a hot desert bring shorts and a short sleeve shirt. Ring lots of water, and other cold things to stay cool. You may want to bring an umbrella for the shade. If going to a cold desert bring the exact opposite. A long sleeve shirt, jacket, pants, but still bring lots of water.

You can play with a lizard, play in the sand, or roll down a sand dune.

n animal in the desert is the Armadillo lizard. Its tubes helps it find for food or predators. A kangaroo rat comes out only during the night when it is cold and not hot.

The barrel cactus has spiky thorns to keep predators away from gathering its water. The saguaro has a shrub to keep it shaded in the hot desert.

If you go to this biome stay away from increasing these environmental issues. For example two environmental issues are Human development and irrigation. Human development causes different organisms homes to be tooken away. Irrigation is not made for a desert it causes ditches.
