Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.
A desert is a hostile, potentially deadly environment for unprepared humans In hot desert, high temperatures cause rapid loss of water due to sweating, and the absence of water sources with which to replenish it can result in dehydration and death within a few days In addition, unprotected humans are also at risk from heatstroke
Humans may also have to adapt to sandstorms in some desert, not just in their adverse effect on respiratory systems and eyes, but also in their potentially harmful effects on equipment such as filters, vehicles and communication equipment Sandstorms can last for hours, sometimes even days
Despite this, some cultures have made hot deserts their home for thousands of years, including the Bedouin, Tuareg tribe, and Pueblo people Modern technology, including advanced irrigation systems, desalinization and air conditioning, has made desert much more hospitable In the United States and Israel for example, desert farming has found extensive use
In cold desert, hypothermia and frostbite are the chief hazards, as well as dehydration in the absence of a source of heat to melt ice for drinking Falling through pack-ice or surface ice layers into freezing water is a particular danger requiring emergency action to prevent rapid hypothermia Starvation is also a hazard; in low temeratures the body requires much more food energy to maintain body heat and to move As with hot desert, some people such as the Inuit have adapted to the harsh conditions of cold deserts
