Answer:

Lack of water and unstable weather make life in these places complicated

Explanation:

Deserts are regions that present few conditions for the maintenance of life, especially to prevent or hinder human habitation. These are arid (but not necessarily hot) regions with low rainfall and few food resources readily available. But that does not mean that these locations do not have fauna, flora and even cities in their landscapes.

The word comes from the Latin “desertu”, which means uninhabited, lonely, emptied.

Why the temperature increases from top to bottom on the leeward side of the mountain?
MariettaO [177]
The leeward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that is covered by wind and you may notice that that side is drier than the windward side, which is the side that faces the incoming wind. 

Now the leeward side temperature increases from top to bottom because when the air goes up the mountain from the windward side, it loses most of its moisture. So by the time the air goes down the leeward side, it lacks moisture and heats up as it loses even more moisture going down. This is called the rain shadow effect.
