Is the desert very hot? Is the temperature high?

Generally speaking, the summer in the desert will be very hot and the temperature will be very high. However, not all deserts are hot all year round. Some deserts are not in the tropics, where it will still be very cold in winter. For example, Taklimakan Desert, the largest desert in China, is very cold in winter.

1. Climatic characteristics of desert Desert is an area where the surface is completely covered with sand, with few plants, little rain and dry air. Deserts are generally barren, and only a few plants can survive, such as cacti. The desert area has a dry climate and little rainfall. In some extreme desert areas, the annual precipitation can even reach below 10 mm, and the climate in desert areas changes greatly, and the annual average temperature difference can exceed 30℃, sometimes it will be scorching at noon and sometimes it will drop below 10 degrees at night.

Second, the distribution characteristics of deserts in the world Most of the deserts in the world are distributed in the middle and low latitudes in the north and south, mainly in Central Asia, the western United States and Africa. The famous deserts are Sahara Desert, Tengger Desert, Taklimakan Desert and Atacama Desert. These deserts are vast, sparsely populated and have little rainfall. Only a few creatures can survive here.

Third, the largest desert in China Taklimakan Desert The largest desert in China is the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang. This desert belongs to warm temperate arid desert. In summer, the temperature can reach more than 60 degrees Celsius during the day, only 20 degrees Celsius at night, and the temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 40 degrees Celsius. However, it is cold in winter, and the average temperature in 65438+ 10 is about-10 degrees. In the Taklimakan desert, mobile sand dunes account for more than 80%, and cactus, seabuckthorn and other plants live there.

So not all deserts are necessarily very hot and the temperature is very high. Mid-latitude deserts are still very cold at night or in winter. Dear readers and friends, if you think my article is well written, please give me a compliment.
