";s:4:"text";s:3353:"If the area's annual precipitation in millimeters is less than the threshold but more than half the threshold, it is classified as a Furthermore, to delineate hot semi-arid climates from cold semi-arid climates, there are three widely used Hot semi-arid climates (type "BSh") tend to be located in the 20s and 30s latitudes of the (Cold semi-arid climates (type "BSk") tend to be located in elevated portions of In climate classification, three isotherms means that delineate between hot and cold semi-arid climates — the 18 °C average annual temperature or that of the coldest month (0 °C or −3 °C), the warm side of the isotherm of choice defining a BSh climate from the BSk on the cooler side. Covering 14.2% of earth's land area, hot deserts are the most common type of climate on earth after polar climate. Hot-month average temperatures are normally between 29 and 35 °C (84 and 95 °F), and midday readings of 43–46 °C (109–115 °F) are common. One such location is The desert climate (in the Köppen climate classification BWh and BWk), is a climate in which there is an excess of evaporation over precipitation. About a third of the Earth is covered by arid climate most of which lie 30 degrees north and south of the Equator. To determine if a location has a semi-arid climate, the precipitation threshold must first be determined. A semi-arid climate, semi-desert climate, or steppe climate is the climate of a region that receives precipitation below potential evapotranspiration, but not as low as a desert climate.
Despite the harsh conditions animals and plants have developed adaptive methods to survive the environment. The typically bald, rocky, or sandy surfaces in desert climates hold little moisture and evaporate the little rainfall they receive. This includes the record of 56.7 °C (134.1 °F) in Hot desert climates can be found in the deserts of Hot deserts are lands of extremes: most of them are among the hottest, the driest and the sunniest places on Earth because of nearly constant high pressure; the nearly permanent removal of low pressure systems, dynamic fronts and atmospheric disturbances; sinking air motion; dry atmosphere near the surface and aloft; the exacerbated exposure to the sun where solar angles are always high. There are different kinds of semi-arid climates, depending on variables such as temperature, and they give rise to different biomes. Cold desert climates are typically located in temperate zones, usually in the Arctic and Antarctic regions also receive very little precipitation during the year, owing to the exceptionally cold dry air; however, both of them are generally classified as having The method used to find the precipitation threshold (in millimeters): As a result of this, some areas can have climates that are classified as hot or cold semi-arid depending on the isotherm used. The world absolute heat records, over 50 °C (122 °F), are generally in the hot deserts, where the heat potential is the highest on the planet. An arid climate is known for being hot and dry.
Although no part of Earth is known for certain to be absolutely rainless, in the Most desert and arid climates receive between 25 and 200 mm (1 and 8 in) of rainfall annually.At the time of high sun (summer), scorching, desiccating heat prevails.
