Sparse rainfall, daily temperature swings of up to 20C, and violent sandstorms make the
desert one of most extreme environments on Earth.
Although desert plants have adapted for their own survival, they also help protect their
ecosystem by stabilizing sand dunes, preventing erosion, presenting a barrier to sandstorms,
and conserving biodiversity.
Desert plants have a variety of adaptations that allow them to endure the desert
environment. Because a desert is extremely dry, plants need to be able to take in as much
water as possible when it rains and to store the water for a long time.
Special root systems and types of leaves enable them to do this. Another source of stress in a
desert, and plants with strong roots will be able to endure the storms.
Considering the difficult conditions in a desert, the diversity of plants that can be found there
is truly amazing.

The charts show information about size, rainfall, temperatures of three deserts on three
different continents. At 9tr square kilometers in area, the Sahara Desert in Africa is much
larger than other two deserts known. The Takli at 270k square kms, and the Great Basin, at
305k square kms, are similar to each other in size. The Talki has the sparsest rainfall, with an
average of 1 to 3.8 centimeters per year. The three deserts have similar summer
temperatures: 30C in the Sahara and Great Basin deserts and 25 in the Takli Desert.

However, winters in the Sahara, with an average temperature of 13, are much warmer than
in the other two deserts, where the average winter temperatures are -8 and -9. The highest
temperatures recorded in the Sahara and Great Basin are almost the same: 57 and 58C. The
other extreme, the lowest recorded temperature, is not shown for those two deserts, but it is
shown for the Takli :-26C
I dont think I would like to go to the top of a high mountain because I dont like to be cold.
And I think climbing high mountains like Everest is so dangerous. It might be interesting to
visit a desert because I would like to see different kinds of plants that grow there. I think they
would be very unusual and interesting to look at.
But I dont like to be hot, so I wouldnt
want to stay in the desert for a long time. I dont really like extreme environments. I prefer to
be comfortable.
I think people like extreme environments for two reasons. One is adventure. Some people like
doing some unusual and dangerous things. They want to see if they climb to the top of high
mountains and endure extreme hot or cold. They want to prove how strong they are and how
much they can endure. The other reason is interest. Some people are interested in studying
some unusual plants or animals or rocks, different kinds of things, so they have to go to
unusual places to find these things.
I can adapt easily to new climates if they arent extreme. In the wintertime its very cold in my
city. If I have the opportunity, I want to take the vacation at that time and go to the warm
place with a nice beach. I certainly can adapt easily to a warm beach climate, especially when
I think about the cold weather I have left behind at home. However I dont like to go anywhere
that is too hot, or too cold either. I cant adapt to this.
