Diary of a Naturalist Dear Diary, Today, I investigated the incredible desert biome. The two I’m investigating are the hot and cold biome. Both contain a devastating environment. It’s a miracle that organisms are able to survive here. In the hot desert, during the day, the heat is almost unbearable, but during the night, it dips down into freezing temperatures. It usually never rains, but when it does, it rains in short bursts between rainless periods. The reason for the temperatures fluctuating

Location The desert biome is located in the centre of continents or on western margins between 15 degrees and 30 degrees North and South of the equator. They may also occur in the interior of continents between latitudes of 30 degrees and 40 degrees North and South of the equator. (Ucmp.berkeley.edu, 2014).

The girl introduces herself as Fatima and says that the Alchemist lives in the South part of Al-Fayoum. The Englishman leaves in attempt

one of these memories. Payson is a great place to take the family dog hiking, but also you will be able to appreciate the beautiful landscape Payson has to offer, with it being conveniently located just a brief drive from the sweltering heat of the Desert Valley. Turning off of the main road I am always amazed by how

-Walter M. Bortz II, MD I lay in bed tossing and turning as I struggled to take a breath. My pink cotton nightgown with white lace trim was soaked with urine and sweat. My bed, positioned against the wall enabled me to see out the window onto the desert landscape of my backyard. Nothing of significance grew out there but low-lying prickly pear and scrub brushes.
