IMPORTANT CHARACTERISTIC OF A DESERT IS THAT IT RECEIVES VERY
LITTLE RAINFALL. MOST DESERTS RECEIVES LESS THAN 300mma year
compared to rainforest which receives over 2000 mm. that means that the
desert only 10 percent of the rain that a rainforest gets! The temperature
in the desert can change drastically from day to night because the air is so
dry that heat escapes rapidly at night . The desert receives least rain in the
spring and summer. August is one of the months that receive the most
rain up to 1.3 cm of rain. December through march it is the time period
when the desert receives the most precipitation. March to June it does
not receive any precipitation at all. Abut 250 mm of rain the desert gets
per year, 10 in per rain fall each year. Desert cover – about one fifth of the
earths surface and occurs where rainfall is less than 50 cm/ year.
