How cold can the Gobi Desert get, and how do its average temperatures compare to the ones in the Colorado Plateau?
That's interesting. Why is there such a difference in temperature between the two regions?
There are a number of factors that influence temperature, including latitude, altitude, and proximity to bodies of water. The Gobi Desert is located in a high altitude and is far from the ocean, which means that it experiences more extreme temperature fluctuations than the Colorado Plateau, which is lower in altitude and closer to the coast.
