II. A desert is a region where only special forms of life can exist because there is a shortage of
moisture. Most of the dry, hot deserts with which we are familiar are found in two belts vanh
dai around the world, just north and south of the Equator. They are caused by high atmospheric
pressures áp suất khí quyển that exist in those areas which prevent rain from falling. Other
deserts, which are found farther away from the Equator, are the result of being in ‘the rain
shadow’.

Deserts differ greatly in appearance. Where sand is abundant, the winds may build sand hills or
dunes đồi cát hoặc cồn cát.. These are sand deserts. Rock deserts consist mostly of bare rock đá
trơ trụi, which forms fantastic cliffs vách đá and hills. No great rivers originate in deserts. But a
river may rise in moist areas and cross great deserts on its way to the sea. The Nile, for
example, flows through the desert region of the Sahara.

The animals that exist in the desert are those that have managed to adapt themselves to its
conditions. They must be able to do without water for long periods or be able to reach water
holes at great distances. The camel, for example, is highly adapted to desert life. It has padded
feet chan dem to walk on sand, a water-storing stomach, humps of fat bướu mỡ as a reserve
supply of energy, and nostrils lỗ mũi that can be closed to keep out sand during windstorms.
Many of the smaller desert creatures need to drink no water at all. They get what liquid they
need from the sap nhựa of food plants and from night dew sương đêm on leaves or stones.
