Answer 1

The Mojave Desert and Salar de Uyuni both receive less than four inches of rain each year, which is a defining characteristic of deserts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mojave Desert and Salar de Uyuni both receive less than four inches of rain each year. Deserts, including these two examples, are typically characterized by low annual precipitation.

Subtropical deserts like the Mojave can experience extreme temperatures, with soil surface temperatures during the day sometimes exceeding 60°C (140°F), and nightly temperatures that can approach freezing. However, in the month of June, these areas usually remain above freezing temperatures.

Unlike the diversity found in some ecosystems, desert ecosystems can vary greatly; some deserts can have an abundant plant life, while others can be devoid of plant life, depending on various factors including rainfall.
