Some catastrophic events that happened in the desert biome are the desert biome is characterized by low precipitation, a high rate of evaporation (seven to fifty times as much as precipitation), and a wide daily range in temperature. The dramatic temperature fluctuations are the result of low humidity, which allows up to 90 percent of solar radiation to penetrate the atmosphere and heat the ground during the day, then for this accumulated heat to be released back into the atmosphere at night.
The greatest number of deaths in the deserts are cause by sudden flash floods. More people drown in the desert than by any other natural cause. Heavy rains can also bring about landslides that can cause deaths. Wildfires also can be catastrophic in some areas of the desert.
