A Hot and Dry Desert is hot and dry. Most Hot and Dry Deserts don't have
very many plants. They do have some that are low growing though. The only animals
they have that can survive have the ability to burrow under ground. This is
because they would not be able to live in the hot sun and heat. They only come
out in the night when it is a little cooler.
A cold desert is a desert
that has snow in the winter instead of just dropping a few degrees in
temperature like they would in a Hot and Dry Desert. It never gets warm enough
for plants to grow. Just maybe a few grasses and mosses. The animals in Cold
Deserts also have to burrow but in this case to keep warm, not cool. That is
why you might find some of the same animals here as you would in the Hot and
Dry Deserts.
