Hot Hot Hot!

This Spanish Difficult Review picture quiz will take a look at things that you might find in a desert. And, if you are one of those people who like it hot, hot, hot, then you will feel right at home here! Of course, you are about to discover the desert’s wonders in the language of Spanish.

Did you know that there have been temperatures recorded in the upper 140 degree mark in the desert? Because it is so hot there, many people might have the mistaken belief that there isn’t much in the desert. That is probably because many people perceive the desert to be just endless miles of sand. Although sand can be found in the desert, most deserts are filled with many more living things where people and animals can actually thrive. With that understanding in mind, this quick picture review quiz is going to point out some of those thriving elements that can be found in the desert.

Before you begin the quiz, why not grab a bottle of nice cold water because this trip is going to be HOT as you attempt to quickly find the Spanish words for the capitalized English words given in each quiz sentence.
