Daytime temperatures can soar above 100\u00b0F (38\u00b0C), but the desert\u2019s high elevation and dry air cause the temperature to plummet once the sun sets. This dramatic diurnal temperature variation is a defining feature of the Mojave. The cooler nights contrast sharply with the intense daytime heat, making the Mojave a desert of extreme temperature fluctuations, which is quite rare among hot deserts around the world.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Mojave Desert"},{"right":"no","answer":"Atacama Desert"},{"right":"no","answer":"Sonoran Desert"},{"right":"no","answer":"Kalahari Desert"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1865,"title":"Deserts of the united states","slug":"deserts-of-the-united-states"},{"id":1869,"title":"Moj","slug":"moj"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/13555","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13555"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13555"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=13555"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=13555"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
