Other deserts have rocky ground. They

might also be covered with poor soil or

small gravel.

Only the toughest plants can grow in the

desert. They must be able to survive on very

they might have a waxy skin that reduces

water loss to the air.

Camels and cacti can live in the dry desert climate.

Desert animals are also quite hardy. They

manage with barely any water. They may

have to eat short, scrubby plants. In the

Sahara Desert of Africa, they face burning

hot days. In the Gobi Desert of Asia, they

deal with freezing cold winds. Camels

survive just fine in these arid lands.
