Both biomes are characterized by very little precipitation.

Detailed explanation-1: -Both biomes are sandy with little or no vegetation. Hence, these biomes are similar in the sense that both receive very little rainfall. But when considering the climate of each biome, they are different since tundra is an extremely cold environment while desert is an extremely hot environment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Desert Biomes The climate of deserts is dominated by low precipitation, generally below 250 mm yr-1 (Figure 7).
Detailed explanation-3: -Deserts are similar to tundras cause they both experience extremely high temperatures with little rain. It is also difficult for crops to grow in these areas. Both tundras and deserts get about 10 inches or less of rain per year and lots of bushes as well as trees. They both expierience extreme tempatures.
Detailed explanation-4: -Precipitation in the tundra totals 150 to 250 mm a year, including melted snow. That’s less than most of the world’s greatest deserts! Still, the tundra is usually a wet place because the low temperatures cause evaporation of water to be slow.
Detailed explanation-5: -Tundra regions typically get less than 25 centimeters (10 inches) of precipitation annually, which means these areas are also considered deserts. They have long, cold winters with high winds and average temperatures below freezing for six to ten months of the year.
