day ruined by perception

Seasonal Information
If you want to visit the desert, spring and fall
are the ideal times to visit. In the Mojave
desert, temperatures can be very cold in
the winter and over 100 degrees in the

Environmental Issues 
 Climate
is very hot and dry which makes
it hard for people, plants and animals to
live in the desert
 It
is very hard for the desert biome to
recover from environmental damage
because the desert has a slow rate of
growth causing the soil to be very fragile
and have little resiliance
