Deserts of the World Index -- Exploring Nature Educational Resource When you think of deserts, do you think of a dry, hot endless sea of sand, with no life? It is true that deserts are dry, and during the day it can be 100 degrees. Sometimes the ground can be too hot to walk on, even with shoes. At midday the scorching sunburns over head making a shimmer of heat rise from the rocks and sand. But at night the desert can be cold! The temperature can drop well below freezing. Deserts can get rain, but not very often and not always enough to soak the ground. Every year the world’s deserts are growing. Rainfall brings a sudden bloom of desert life. As human numbers grow, the need for space and resources has sent developers into the desert more and more.
