Hi, I am fascinated by deserts and dream of moving to one someday. Are you familiar with these barren landscapes?
Oh yes I sure am, In my state we have lots of them! Do you know a lot about deserts? what can you tell me about them? 
I'm aware that desert conditions are hostile for most plant and animal life. Also I'm familiar with some deserts in Nevada.
Oh yes thats one of the few things I worry about in the desert, those poor animals, How hot does the desert get in general?
I'm not sure of exact heat in general, but the Great Basin Desert for example is temperate, with hot dry summers and snowy winters.
Oh ok thats a cool fact, Do you happen to know what the hottest desert is in the world? 
The one that comes to mind for that title is the Sahara desert. Known as the largest hot desert in the world.
Ah yes I knew it, I figured it was the Sahara, What other facts about the desert should I know, Like how many animals can survive there? 
I believe there are very few animals that can survive in that harsh environment. Still there are some animals that do and the cactus also survives. The area of the Sahara is also comparable to the area of China or the USA.
