Question

which conclusion about the picture below is probably true?
el azizia, libya
a. the temperature at night is cold.
b. this place gets very little rain each year.
c. the temperature can rise to more than 100° f.
d. all of the above

Explanation:

• Option a: In desert regions like the one shown (desert landscape in El Azizia, Libya), there is a large diurnal temperature range. During the day, it can be very hot, and at night, the temperature drops significantly, often becoming cold.
• Option b: Deserts are characterized by low precipitation. The presence of a desert landscape (sand dunes) implies that this area gets very little rain each year.
• Option c: Desert regions can experience extremely high temperatures. Temperatures in deserts can easily rise above \(100^{\circ}F\) during the day due to the lack of cloud cover and moisture (which would otherwise moderate temperatures).

Since all of the statements (a, b, and c) are characteristic of desert environments (as depicted in the picture), option d is correct.

Answer:

d. all of the above
