b) 220 degrees
c) -126 degrees

Answer 1

The difference between the temperatures in the Sahara Desert and the Gobi Desert is 222 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the temperatures in the Sahara Desert and the Gobi Desert is 222 degrees.

In the Sahara Desert, the temperature was recorded as 174 degrees, while in the Gobi Desert, the temperature was -48 degrees. To find the difference, we subtract the temperature in the Gobi Desert from the temperature in the Sahara Desert:

174 degrees - (-48 degrees) = 174 degrees + 48 degrees = 222 degrees.
