Thus, adapting to the conditions of a specific part of the day-night cycle and hiding in hibernation during the rest makes sense.Erosion will be very strong as well - the constant flux between frost and heat will make short work of most cliffs. If the history of your world doesn't feature geological time scales (millions of years), mountains will still exist - but climbing them will be very, very dangerous, with rock slides happening all the time and few secure handholds.There will be lots of storms as well, as storms are driven by local temperature differences - and this kind of killer day-night cycle will power them strongly. Coastal regions will experience frequent and strong storms, and even more continental locales will likely experience rainfall during the early evening when the humidity of the day precipitates out of the air again.</blockquote>
