Desert Biome
Deserts cover around 1/5 of EAths surface. There are four different types of deserts: cold, hot and dry, semiraid, and coastal. In the cold desert its known for cold winters and snowfall. The mean temperature is 21-26 degrees. The hot and dry desert is probably the most well known and what we think of when we think of a desert. Its warm throughout the year and has very hot summers. In the hot and dry desert rainfall is very limited, in some places the average percipitation is 1.5 cm. The semiraid desert brings hot summers and its warm throughout the year. The average rainfall is 2-4 inches. There is limited vegiation in all of these deserts because of the lack of rainfall.
The desert is one of the many biomes on Earth.
Climatogram
A climatogram is a graph of the elements of a climate that is measured over a long period of time. For example, the elements it graphs are tempature, rainfall, and humidity. This is useful because it shows the average elements and not just the weekly or daily forecast. One abiotic factor in the desert has a very low average rainfall. The biotic relationship is that animals and plants need to adapt due to the lack of rainfall. For examploe a cactus, that grows in the desert, adapted to little rainfall in order to survive.
