b.
warm temperature year round, very long dry winter and a very wet summer, a temperature range of 68° to 86° F, annual precipitation of 10 to 30 inches
c.

d.

Answer 1

The answer is D. Desert biomes have extremely low humidity, less than 10 inches of rain per year, high temperatures during the day and frequently windy. Abiotic factors are the chemical and physical factors that influence the environment. For instance, soil, temperature, and humidity.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is D) Extremely low humidity, less than 10 inches of rain per year, high temperatures during the day, frequently windy .

Abiotic factors include the non living components of the environment.

For example- Temperature, humidity, and rainfall.

Desert biome is mainly considered as a part of drylands. It is characterised by extremely low humidity. Average rainfall in this biome is less than ten inches. This results in scarcity of water. It experiences extremely high temperature and is frequently windy.

Example of desert biome- Thar desert in Rajasthan.

Thus, option D) correctly describes the climate of desert biome.
