Question

In which kind of desert would you most likely expect to find a winter population of large herbivores?

A) arid
B) semi-arid
C) coastal
D) cold

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Coastal Deserts

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the most logical option because coastal deserts have characteristics which, unlike the others, make it more hospitable to large herbivores. They are proximity to a large water body and some plant life.

Large herbivores would require plant and water to survive. Because coastal deserts are very close to beaches or large bodies of water, the fog generated by the topography provides moisture that can support, life. Some of the plants, for example, that may be found in coastal deserts are:

• saltbush
• buckwheat bush
• rice grass
• black bush
• Chrysothamnus etc

An example of a coastal desert is the Namib Desert in Africa.
