Question

temperate deserts can be ____________. a wetter than most prairie b wetter during the winter than most forests c hotter during the winter than in the summer d hot during the day but cold at night

Explanation:

Temperate deserts have large - scale diurnal temperature variations. They are hot during the day as the sun heats the dry land quickly, and cold at night as the heat is rapidly lost due to the lack of moisture - retaining clouds and vegetation. Prairie areas are generally wetter than deserts, and deserts are drier than forests in winter. Also, deserts are typically hotter in summer than in winter.

Answer:

D. hot during the day but cold at night
