The Deadly Death valley


Death Valley is a huge derest land and is the hottest, dryest and lowest part of U.S.A. It also is home to a native american tribe, the Timbisha tribe.
The depth and shape of Death Valley influence its summer temperatures. The valley is a long, narrow basin 85.5 m (282 feet) below sea level, yet is walled by high, steep mountain ranges. The clear, dry air and sparse plant cover allow sunlight to heat the desert surface. Heat radiates back from the rocks and soil, then becomes trapped in the valley's depths.
