Answer 2

The statement is true. According to the climate zone map, a desert may be either hot or cold, but is always characterized by dry conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

A desert is an area where there is relatively little rainfall, so there is little or no vegetation.

The stereotypical image of a desert is a vast bare plain with sand dunes and a very high temperature on average. However, this image only applies to a small part of the desert areas on Earth. There are also deserts in the temperate and polar zones.

Examples of deserts are the Sahara, the Gobi, the Kalahari, the Namib Desert, the Negev, the Great Arabian Desert, the Atacama, the ice desert Eismitte and the central part of Antarctica.
