Most people think of sand and intense heat when they think of a desert.
However, some deserts can get quite cold depending on their elevation and latitude. A desert is a place that receives less than ten inches of precipitation a year. In fact there is so little rain or snow that very little vegetation will grow except for sparse grassland or scrub. Not all deserts are hot, but they are dry. The world's highest recorded temperature was in the Sahara in Al'Aziziya, Libya.
