Desert
Deserts are found across our planet along two fringes parallel to the equator at 25–35° latitude in both the northern and southern hemispheres. Deserts are arid or dry regions and receive less than 10 inches of rain per year. Biologically, they contain plants and animals adapted for survival in arid environments. Physically they are large areas with a lot of bare soil and low vegetation cover. The world’s deserts occupy almost one-quarter of the earth’s land surface, which is approximately 20.9 million square miles.

Succulent, plants way to adapt
Succulent plants store water in fleshy leaves, stems or roots in compounds or cells from which it is not easily lost. All cacti are succulents, as are such non-cactus desert dwellers as agaves, aloes, elephant trees and many euphorbias. Several other adaptations are essential for the water-storing habit to be effective.
