While some rainfall occurs, it is usually light and sporadic, as the region does not receive heavy winter storms. The landscape remains arid, but certain desert plants, such as cacti and shrubs, take advantage of cooler conditions to conserve moisture. Wildlife also adapts by being more active during the day. Despite the temperature drop, the desert does not receive significant snowfall, except in higher elevations like nearby mountain ranges.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"It receives heavy snowfall"},{"right":"no","answer":"The desert becomes a lush green forest"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Temperatures cool, but little rain falls"},{"right":"no","answer":"It floods with monsoons"}],"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":1870,"title":"Sonoran Desert","slug":"sonoran-desert"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/13759","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=13759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=13759"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=13759"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=13759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
