Desert climates are generally located near the tropics, with latitudes between 35 and 15 degrees. In addition, in these places you can find some specific specimens of flora and fauna, which have managed to develop despite the lack of water because they are a species with a high ability to adapt. Usually, when referring to deserts, are usually associated with a large amount of sand and extremely hot temperatures; However, a dry climate also develops in Antarctica and the North Arctic where these areas receive very little moisture, and this requires identifying plants and animals that can coexist with this climate.
