list 5 animals that live in the desert. Write a paragraph telling me how they can survive in this particular biome. What feature

NARA [144]

5 desert animals are camel, sand cat, desert tortoises, desert lizards and the great road runner.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Camel has several physiological and behavioral adaptations that help them survive the extreme conditions of the desert. They have flat feet to help them spread their weight in the sand.
They have thick eyelashes and closeable nostrils to prevent the entry of sand. They store fat on their humps that supplies energy during long journeys and has a long large intestine which increases water reabsorption.

Sand cat is similar to the domestic cat in basic appearance but has several adaptations enabling it to survive in the desert. Their paws are covered with thick and long hairs to protect the feet from the heat. They have thick fur that acts as an insulting surface during hot days and cold nights.

Desert tortoises have excellent water storage capacity. Their bladders are larger than normal and can carry extra water. They have strong feet which helps them to dig holes in the sand and access rainwater.

Desert lizards can drink water through skin. They do it by a process called cutaneous water acquisition and it helps them to gather water obtained from rainfall, damp sand and pools.

Great roadrunner has peculiar adaptations. The digestive system of the bird retrieves water from the feces as it is in the excretory canal.

With your group members discuss and answer the following questions.

1) One seismogram represents the distance to the epicenter (indicated by one circle). This is determined by the arrival times of the P and S waves. When the seismograph is near to a quake, the S-waves arrive shortly after the P-waves.

2) A single or double recording station could only measure distance, not direction; a full circle is drawn around the station to allow for all possibilities.

3) Triangulation is a technique used by scientists to determine the location of an earthquake's epicenter. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, the epicenter may be established by where the data links. A network of seismographs positioned in various directions records every earthquake.

4) A seismograph is a device used to record seismic waves caused by an earthquake, explosion, or another Earth-shaking event.

5) In the aftermath of an earthquake, the P waves go ahead of the S waves. As a result, the longer the time difference between the arrival of the P and S waves, the greater the distance between a seismic recording station and the earthquake epicenter.

6) Surface waves frequently induce more ground motion than body waves and hence cause more harm.

<h3>What exactly is a seismograph?</h3>

Seismometers are measuring instruments that detect ground noises and vibrations caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions. Seismographs usually consist of a seismograph, a timing device, and a recording device.

Modern seismometers are capable of detecting ground movements as small as a few nanometres - a millionth of a millimeter. The magnitude of the earthquake is calculated using the measured amplitudes and its closeness to the hypocenter.
