Solution

(i)A desert is defined as an arid region characterised by extremely high or low temperatures, and very low rainfall. Due to the extreme climatic conditions, there is scanty vegetation in deserts

(ii)The people of the Sahara desert wear long, loose-fitting, heavy robes, and head wrappings. The loose-fitting clothes allow air to circulate, prevent the sweat from evaporating quickly, and help the body retain fluids. They also keep the body cool. The long, heavy robes and head wrappings protect an individual against the sun, dust storms and hot winds.
