Types of Deserts

- Cold Deserts: Can be found in polar regions with frigid temperatures.
- Coastal Deserts: Located near coastlines, these deserts have a unique climate due to their proximity to the ocean.
Adaptations of Desert Life
Life in the desert is tough, but nature has a way of rising to the challenge. Plants like cacti have evolved to store water and protect themselves with spines. Animals such as camels can go for days without water, and some, like the desert fox, have large ears that help dissipate heat.
