Question 24

Deserts in the temperate zones can be extremely hot in the afternoon and below freezing at night. Which answer best explains why this happens? SC.5.E.7.5

Accepted Answer

Temperate deserts have very little cloud cover and no humidity. This means that more energy from the Sun reaches the desert in the day, but that heat can escape quickly at night.

Answer

Temperate deserts are found at high elevations, where the Sun and the wind are much stronger. This creates less extreme temperature changes.

Answer

Temperate deserts lack trees and grass. With no trees, the Sun shines directly down and causes it to get hot in the day, and with no grass, the heat can't escape at night.

Answer

Temperate deserts have higher rainfall than other kinds of deserts. Warm rain during the day produces warm breezes in the desert. Cooler rains at night draw warm air away from the desert.
