These plants are adapted to withstand cooler temperatures and higher moisture levels compared to the desert floor. Joshua trees are iconic in the desert, with their spiky, twisted branches. Pine trees also grow in these regions, providing shade and shelter for various wildlife. These trees contrast with the more typical desert vegetation, like cacti, found in lower, hotter areas of the desert.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"Saguaro cactus"},{"right":"yes","answer":"Joshua trees and pine trees"},{"right":"no","answer":"Barrel cacti"},{"right":"no","answer":"Mesquite trees"}],"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\/13831","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=13831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13831"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=13831"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=13831"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
