Desert

Deserts make up 1/3 of this big piece of space rock we call home and can be seen from space. Deserts are usually made by 2 reasons winds and sand eroding rock and the lack of rain like a couple of examples are that the Gobi is cold but is a desert because the Himalayas collect the moisture and the Sonora desert Arizona is a desert because the Rocky Mountains collect the rain. Deserts are interesting cause there is different types cold, dry, hot, moist, etc and animals live in all of them each animal adapted to the climate of the desert that they’re in for example Bactrian Camels in the Gobi Desert eat snow to survive and knows that they can only eat a liter equivalent of snow at a time. Other animals also have adapted to desert climates like most Scorpions have a more water based shell and Locusts use less energy while flying and hopping by hopping and flying in the direction wind was blowing.
