Around one third of land on Earth is desert. Deserts are dry areas of land with very few plants and very little water. Most deserts are in hot regions of the world. In summer, the temperature is very high during the day, but in winter it can be freezing at night!
Desert plants and animals have adapted to the extreme conditions.
Cacti store water in their trunks, and have long roots to access underground water. Desert animals such aas large lizards and snakes only need to eat once or twice a month.
