Question

the great victoria desert is a hot desert ecosystem located in western australia and south australia. it is the largest desert in australia! the great victoria desert is home to the rare great desert skink. to stay cool during the day, great desert skinks live in holes they dig in the ground. which statements describe the great victoria desert ecosystem? select all that apply. it has many different types of organisms. it has dry, thin soil. it has warm, wet summers.

Explanation:

• An ecosystem is a community of living organisms (plants, animals, and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment (air, water, and mineral soil), interacting as a system. The Great Victoria Desert being a habitat for the rare great desert skink implies there are other organisms too, so "It has many different types of organisms" is correct.
• Deserts are known for having dry conditions. The soil in deserts is often dry and thin as there is less vegetation to build up thick, rich soil layers, so "It has dry, thin soil" is correct.
• Deserts are typically arid (dry). Hot deserts like the Great Victoria Desert do not have "warm, wet summers" as that would contradict the desert (dry) characteristic.

Answer:

It has many different types of organisms.
It has dry, thin soil.
