All animals face the same problems in adapting to the desert. They must find shelter from daytime heat and nighttime cold‚ as well as find food and water‚ which are often scarce. Yet‚ in spite of these extreme conditions‚ most animal species are represented in the desert environment‚ even some we typically associate with temperate or wet surroundings. Invertebrates Animals without backbones are called invertebrates. They include simple desert animals such as worms‚ and more complex animals such

The British Isles located at 54◦N has historically had very unstable and hard to predict weather patterns due its location where five significantly different air masses converge and with influences from the Sub-polar Jet stream and North Atlantic Drift. Along with the additional complication of global warming potentially causing more extreme weather‚ meteorologists have been unable to agree on whether the UK has either a Maritime or Temperate climate.
