Hello, everyone here We have a question that asks which chuck the following statements about the desert bio miz false. A. The temperature in it varies greatly. This is true. B it has low and scattered vegetation. This is true. See most organisms that live in it have water conservation adaptations. This is true, because there is scarce water in deserts. D. It can be found in the equator. The equator has a tropical climate, and this is due to hot and moist air rising into the atmosphere near the equator. As the air rises, it drops its moisture in the equator, causing the equator to have this tropical climate. So D. Is incorrect. So our answer here is D. It can be found at the equator. Thank you for watching. Bye.
