Desert: Desert covers three quarters of the Arabian Peninsula. These deserts are made up of plains, plateaus, and mostly sand. Deserts are stereotypically torrid. However, they can hit extreme temperatures both hot and cold. Deserts get less than four inches of precipitation all year long. Droughts can last for years! When rain hits is isn't always good though. On the rare occasion that it does rain, it comes in a violent storm. Because the land is not used to or equipped to the water is often causes flash flooding. Windstorms are storms that happen much more often. They blow the loose sand and dirt around.
Adaptations: People's clothes have much to do with comfort and even survival. They have to wear clothes that will keep them cool and cove their heads and faces in case of a sandstorm.
