Want you can know about the desert



Did you know that the desert cover more then one fifth of the earth's land. Deserts are part of a wider classification of regions called dry land. It is just not dry and hot deserts there are also cold ones as well. The largest hot desert in the world is the northern Africa's Sahara. It reaches temperatures of 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) during the day some deserts are always cold.


Did you know that desert animals have ways to keep themself cool. For example camels can go for days without food and water. Many deserts are nocturnal, that mean the some animal only come out at night. Some animal, like the desert tortoise in the southwestern United States spend much of their time underground.
