The climate region labeled number one on the map above is characterized as a desert climate. Three characteristics of this climate region include low precipitation, high evaporation rates, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
In this desert climate, one plant commonly found is the sagebrush. This plant is adapted to the arid conditions and has small, thick leaves that help conserve water.
An animal that can be found in this desert ecosystem is the dromedary camel. These camels have adapted to the extreme temperatures and lack of water by being able to go for long periods without drinking and being able to withstand high temperatures.
