How cold can the Gobi Desert get, and how do its average temperatures compare to the ones in the Arabian Desert?
That's quite a difference! Are there any factors that contribute to the extreme temperatures in these deserts?
Yes, the Gobi Desert is located in a remote region of northern China and southern Mongolia, and its extreme temperatures are due to its high altitude and its location in the rain shadow of the Himalayas. On the other hand, the Arabian Desert's extreme temperature is due to its location near the equator, which results in strong solar radiation and high levels of humidity in some areas.
