How cold can the Gobi Desert get, and how do its average temperatures compare to the ones in the Sahara?
That's interesting. Are there any factors that contribute to such extreme temperature differences between the two deserts?
Yes, several factors contribute to the temperature differences. One is the difference in latitude, with the Gobi Desert being closer to the poles than the Sahara. Another important factor is the altitude, as parts of the Gobi Desert are located higher than the Sahara. Additionally, the Gobi Desert experiences colder winter winds from Siberia, while the Sahara is influenced by warmer winds from the tropics.
