Desert

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The variation in soil surface temperature is primarily determined by the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface and the heat capacity of the soil. In a $Desert$ habitat, there is very little vegetation cover to provide shade or insulation. Consequently, the soil surface receives direct, intense solar radiation during the day, causing it to heat up rapidly. At night, due to the lack of moisture and vegetation, the heat is quickly radiated back into the atmosphere, leading to a rapid drop in temperature. Therefore, deserts exhibit the highest daily temperature fluctuations compared to forests, grasslands, or shrublands, which have more vegetation cover to buffer these changes.
