Why Some Deserts are Colder than a Confessional

#shorts #scinews #science news #science #science max #desert #climate #temperature #cold #polar #dry #rain shadow From scorching sand dunes to frigid tundras, deserts come in hot and cold varieties. Blame it on rain shadows, high altitudes, and distance from warm ocean breezes. The Gobi Desert hits -38C in winter while Patagonia maxes out at 12C. Even Antarctica, the driest place on Earth, is a desert. Only the hardiest lichens and mosses survive there. So if you picture camels and hear ‘dry heat’ when you think ‘desert’, it’s time to chill out. Some are more freezer burn than sunburn.
