Meteorologist
The word desert means many can't live there. That's why some are made out of ice like the antarctic desert. The climate is in a hot desert the climate is= heat 87-110 there is not a lot of rain there is less then 10 inches.
Botanist
You might think that the desert is a place with dull plants like cacti, shrubs, and tumbleweeds but you're wrong! A desert can be a beautiful place after rain-storms. The plants have to adapt to very cruel conditions.They have to absorb water to survive. The plants are Firethorn Branches, Yucca Plants, Spinefex Plants, and many, many more.
