Detailed explanation-1: -The deserts are very dry land areas that can be hot or cold and experience very less rainfall. On the other hand, rainforests receive an enormous amount of rain. Both are homes to a variety of plants. Let us see how deserts plants differ from rainforest plants!
Detailed explanation-2: -The world absolute heat records, over 50 °C (122 °F), are generally in the hot deserts, where the heat potential can be the highest on the planet. This includes the record of 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) in Death Valley, which is currently considered the highest temperature recorded on Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does Arizona’s dry climate produce such hot temperatures? One obvious answer to this is the lack of cloud cover in arid climates compared to their humid counterparts, and cloud tops that reflect a significant amount of the sun’s energy back into space so surface heating is reduced.
