DESERT
Desert is a large area with very little water and few plants. Many deserts have
extreme heat and lots of sand. They receive very little rainfall that it why they
are extremely dry. Deserts have four types; hot and dry, coastal, semiarid and
cold deserts. The largest hot desert is the Sahara in Africa. The temperature in
the Sahara can rise up to 50°C but at night it can go below zero. Did you know
that the Antarctic is also the biggest desert in the world? The Antarctic and the
Arctic are the two largest polar deserts on Earth. Although the Sahara is very
hot, it is home to many animals like the camels, foxes, spiders, elephants and
lions, and plants such as cacti and wildflowers. The desert is a beautiful place
but heat, severe sunburns and insects’ bites can be dangerous so people need to
be prepared.
