The dry climates are divided in two categories: Deserts and Steppes.
Deserts- They are areas with little plant life. Yearly, the rainfall is about 10 inches of rain. The temperatures vary widely, in the day it could be very hot but in the night it could be very cool; it also varies from season to season. Some deserts may support oasis, while some may be rocky, or have dunes. Others have fertile soil that can yield crops during irrigation.
Steppes-They are dry, largely treeless grassland bordering deserts. Steppes receive about 10-20 inches of rain a year.
They are mostly found over North America, South America, Africa, Australia, Western and Central Asia, and Eastern Europe.
