Question

The desert climate or arid climate, is a climate which there is an excess of evaporation over precipitation. During the days, the temperatures are very high and dry. During nightfall, temperatures drop dramatically and it gets very cold. In three to four sentences, describe one plant and one animal that you would expect to find in the arid biome. Support your answer with the abiotic factors in the biome. *

Answer 1

These desert dwelling, nocturnal creatures are very tough and low maintenance. Scorpions' exoskeletons and venomous stingers give them great protection, and their low food and water needs and ability to slow down their metabolism allow them to survive in the harshest environments.
