    The passages state that in the summer temperatures often go over 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day and sometimes don't drop below 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) at night in Death Valley.

    The passages explain that Death Valley is so hot and dry because of its low elevation and surrounding high mountains that block cool winds and rain from entering the valley.

    Read the article about Death Valley. Then select True or False for each


    statement.
    Death Valley

    Death Valley, east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, is a land


    of extremes. It is the hottest place in North America. In the summer,
    temperatures often go over 49 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit)
    during the day and sometimes don't drop below 38 degrees Celsius (100
    degrees Fahrenheit) at night.

    Death Valley is also the driest place in North America. Average yearly
    rainfall is less than 51 millimeters (2 inches). There are rivers in Death
    Valley, but they only flow briefly during the winter – and only in very wet
    years.

    So why is Death Valley so hot and dry? The reason is its geography.
    Parts of Death Valley are very low. The lowest place in the Western
    Hemisphere is on the valley floor (86 meters – 282 feet – below sea
    level). On all sides are high mountains. These mountains keep cool winds
    and rain out of the valley.

    Death Valley is a great distance from California's largest cities, but it is


    one of the most interesting places in the state to visit. The best time to go
    to this desert is during the coolest months – from November through
    March.
