There are two different types of deserts, which are hot and dry desert and a cold desert. The hot and dry deserts are very hot and can range from 20 to 49 degrees C. There are very few plants and animals in the hot and dry desert because it is so hot. In the cold deserts the temperatures are very cold and it snows in the winter. The temperatures in the cold desert range from -2 to 26 degrees C. Few plants and animals live in cold deserts just like the dry and hot deserts. The main thing that makes it tough to live in both deserts is that they both receive less then 25cm of rain a year.Temperatures in the desert make it hard for animals to live there. All the animals that do live there have to be able to dig into the ground because of the extreme temperatures.
