Q1) Read the text then answer the questions below: (18 points)

Around 20percent of the surface of Earth is desert. Climates in the desert are either hot or cold. The Jordanian Badia desert reaches 80 percent of the total area of the Kingdom. However, Jordan is among the few countries that have desert climate, but that also enjoy mild to cool and wet winters. That's why we find Aqaba city and Jordan Valley hot in the summer and warm in winter.

The Badia desert is rich in wildlife. In the 1920's, some animals like the Arabian Oryx didn't survive due to climate change and the small amount rainfall. As a result, the Jordanian authorities set up the Shaumari Reserve in 1975 CE to save the few remaining numbers of the Arabian Oryx.
