The defining characteristic is A. Low rainfall

Not all deserts have high temperatures. Similarly, not all have lizards or cacti in them. An example of this would be the Gobi Desert which does not have high temperature.

The answer is A. The main characteristic of a desert is its aridity. Most deserts receive an annual precipitation of ten or fewer inches. Temperatures can't be a defining characteristic of deserts because there are deserts with low temperatures such as those in the polar regions (antarctica). In these regions, water is unavailable because it is completely frozen as ice.

What can happen to solar radiation when it enters Earths atmosphere? Check all that apply
Blizzard [7]
The answers that apply are:
1), 2) , 3), 4)

Let's look into them one by one:

1)It is absorbed by Earth.

- Earth is indeed a material that will absorb solar radiation, this is one of the reason why we have a different temperature in the morning and at night.

2)It is reflected by clouds.

- Cloud can reflect solar radiation as it is made up of water particles which can reflect the solar radiation back. This is why in a foggy day the sunlight is dimmer.

3)It is reflected by glacial ice.

-Glacial ice can reflect solar radiation. As glacial ice is smooth and light in colour,much solar radiation that was on the glacier is reflected, this is one of the reason how the North Pole and South Pole are cold all year.

4)It is condensed into visible light.

Solar radiation can light up the area depending on it's intensity, the more intense the radiation is,the brighter it will be.

5) is amplified by water molecules.

Although water molecules can keep the radiation as it has a high specific latent heat, it does not amplify the solar radiation.

Hope it helps!
