At dawn, deserts feel quiet because there’s less noise. During the day, animals and wind make a lot of sound. But when it gets dark, most creatures go to sleep, and the wind slows down. That means fewer sounds, and that makes the desert feel very still and silent.
Examples
- The desert feels quiet because all the animals are asleep.
- Wind slows down, so there’s less whooshing sound.
- It sounds like the whole world has stopped talking.
