According to the data in Figure 50.2, Area 1 has a higher average temperature than Area 2, but it cannot be concluded that Area 1 is a desert based solely on temperature. Precipitation is also an important factor to consider. However, there is no information given about the amount of precipitation in Area 1, so it is impossible to determine whether or not Area 1 would be considered a desert.
