		Arid and extremely arid land are deserts, and semiarid grasslands generally are referred to as steppes.
		Deserts are also classified by their geographical location and dominant weather pattern as trade wind, mid-latitude, rain shadow, coastal, monsoon, or polar deserts.

		Deserts are also classified by their geographical location and dominant weather pattern as trade wind, midlatitude, rain shadow, coastal, monsoon, or polar deserts.
		Coastal deserts generally are found on the western edges of continents near the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
		Polar deserts are areas with annual precipitation less than 250 millimeters and a mean temperature during the warmest month of less than 10Â° C. Polar deserts on Earth cover nearly 5 million square kilometers and are mostly bedrock or gravel plains.

	Where's The Rain? (What is a Desert?)
		Deserts (also called arid regions) are grouped into two types by temperature: cold desert (a desert with daytime temperatures below freezing for part of the year) and hot desert (a desert with hot daytime temperatures for most of the year).
		Most deserts are located in the horse latitudes, typically straddling the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, between 15 and 30 degrees north and south of the equator.
		Compare the different deserts by asking: "Which desert seems to be the largest?" "Which is the smallest?" "Which desert covers most of a continent?" "Which areas have no desert?" "What part of the world do most of the deserts seem to be located?" Hypothesize why the deserts are located in certain areas.
