    A biome is a large geographical area defined by specific plants, animals, and climate conditions. The desert biome is characterized by extreme dryness, high temperatures during the day, and low rainfall, leading to unique adaptations in both flora and fauna. Common desert plants include cacti and Joshua trees, while animals like camels and fennec foxes have evolved to conserve water and survive the harsh environment.

    Biome
    A biome is a large geographical area
    characterized by certain types of plants,
    animals, and climate. Each biome has
    specific conditions, such as
    temperature, precipitation, and soil
    type, that influence the life forms that
    live there. Biomes can be found all over
    the world, from the cold tundra to
    tropical rainforests.
    DESERT BIOME
    The desert biome is an arid (dry) environment with very little rainfall,
    usually less than 10 inches per year. Due to extreme temperatures
    and dryness, plants and animals have adapted to conserve water
    and survive. For example, desert plants store water, and animals
    are often nocturnal to avoid the heat.

    cation:
    serts can be found on every continent. Some of the most famous deserts includ
    hara Desert (Africa)
    abian Desert (Middle East)
    noran Desert (North America)
    eat Victoria Desert (Australia)
    CLIMATE OF DESERT
    Temperature: Very hot during the day (over 100°F or 38°C)
    and cold at night.

    Rainfall: Less than 10 inches (25 cm) of rain per year, making
    it dry.

    Wind: Strong winds, causing sand dunes and occasional


    sandstorms.

    Humidity: Low, making the air feel dry


    Flora (Plants) in the Desert Biome
    Desert plants are specially adapted to survive in the extreme conditions. Some
    common plants in the desert biome include:

    Cacti (e.g., Saguaro Cactus): Store water in their thick stems and have spines
    instead of leaves to reduce water loss.
    Joshua Trees: Found in the Mojave Desert and have long, spiky leaves.
    Creosote Bushes: Small and have waxy leaves to help retain water.
    Agave Plants: Succulent plants that can store water in their leaves, helping them
    survive the dry climate.
    Desert Wildflowers: Bloom only after a rainstorm, and adapted to survive
    droughts.
    Fauna (Animals) in the Desert
    Biome
    Desert animals adapt with nocturnal behavior, water conservation, and unique
    features to survive extreme heat.

    •Camels: Known as the "ships of the desert," able to go for long periods without water and store fat
    in their humps to provide energy.
    •Fennec Foxes: It has large ears that help them stay cool and are nocturnal to avoid the heat of the
    day.
    •Scorpions: Adapted to survive extreme temperatures and live in burrows to keep cool during the
    day.
    •Snakes (e.g., Rattlesnakes): Many desert snakes are nocturnal and use burrows to escape the
    sun's heat.
    •Kangaroo Rats: Can live without drinking water, obtaining moisture from the seeds they eat.
