found in hot desert areas due to the climate and landform. Living under the arid evnironment is typically difficult because of the extreme climate, the fluctuation of temperature between night and day is enormous, and sandstorms occur frequently. As well as this, there are very few nutritional substances for survival. However, the biggest challenge for living things in the hot desert is most likely the dry weather and lack of rain. The annual rainfall is below 25 mm in the Sahara Desert, the world’s
ancestors of Australian kangaroos had long feet, making it less efficient to walk. Walking was thus an insufficient mode of locomotion, leading to their hopping which was more efficient for speed when evading predators. Animals in the desert evolved many different adaptations to survive the extreme heat. One example is they evolved horns whose sheaths direct the extreme heat away from the
the environment inside the biome. There are many different types of biomes on earth’s surface. The divisions are based on climate patterns, soil types, animals, and plants that inhabit the area. There are five basic types of biomes which includes; desert, aquatic, grasslands, forest, and tundra. The tundra is a biome typified by permafrost, permanently frozen ground, that is found in polar regions and isolated patches at the tops of mountains. The tundra is located all over the world.

Near the Colorado River, riparian vegetation and sandy beaches. Just above the river corridor a desert scrub community exists complete with a wide variety of cacti and warm desert scrub species. A pinyon pine and juniper forest grows above the desert scrub up to 6,200 feet, while between 6,200 feet and 8,200 feet ponderosa pine strive. On the North Rim at elevations above 8,200 feet, a spruce-fir forest tops out the park
