A desert is a landscape or region of land that is very dry because of low rainfall amounts (precipitation)‚ often has little coverage by plants‚ and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside areas.[1] Deserts can also be described as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation.[2] Desert plants must have special adaptations to survive with this little water. Deserts take up about one third (33%) of the Earth’s land surface.[3] Bottomlands
