2 The biome we chose is ‘desert’. It is an environment and place where animals and plants are adapted to the desert. Deserts have less than 10 inches of rain per year but sometime there will be no rain the whole year. The temperature reaches up to 50 C and sometimes higher.

8 Different plants have different ways to adapt to the desert. They have their own way to get water. Some plants have developed tap roots. These tap roots can extend to thirty meters below the surface to get the water from underground.

10 All desert animals have found one way or another to adapt to the desert climate they live in. Some animals only come out at night when the desert is cooler. Some animals have the ability to store water or go without it for long periods of time. Other animals have adapted to the desert by storing body fat in their tails or in a hump like the camel.

12 Many types of human activities hurt the desert. Driving off the road is one of these activities. Many people drive off road in vehicles in unrestricted areas all over the desert. Their vehicles leave tracks on the soil, which will effect the land for decades. These tracks also kill off vegetation. When vegetation is harmed, so are the animals.

14 Another human activity the effects the desert is the construction through out the desert. For example, new factories, hospitals, highways, new cities, shopping malls and much more. They effect the desert by taking over the space where animals and plants live.
