Read this passage, to research facts about the Desert before
completing your writing assignment today.
A desert is a dry place with little rain. How
little? A desert gets less than ten inches of
rain each year. Deserts can be sandy or
rocky. Some deserts are hot. A few can be
cold. A desert is a habitat. A habitat is a
place where animals and plants live.
Hot deserts are home to many kinds of living things,
but only some kinds of plants and animals can survive
there. Animals living there include owls, snakes, lizards,
and coyotes. Another hot desert animal is the kangaroo
rat. It sleeps underground during the day, when the
weather is hot. The kangaroo rat comes out at night,
when it is cooler. They eat mostly seeds. Camels also live
in deserts. Camels store fat in their humps. They live off
the fat when they cannot eat or drink. Camels, too, have
found ways to live in the dry desert.
Some plants live in the hot desert. Only a few kinds
of trees and bushes can survive there. One of the most
common desert plants is the cactus. The cactus collects and stores
water in its stem. Sharp spines protect most cacti from animals.
One of the world’s most extreme
deserts can be found in Chile. It is the
Atacama Desert. This desert lies between
two mountain ranges. The Atacama desert is
extreme because of its dryness. The center
of this desert is the driest place in the world!
No rainfall has EVER been measured there!
Even the parts that have seen some rain are
very dry. These parts get less than one inch
of rain a year!Writing Thursday, 5/28/2020
After reading and doing research on the desert, write 3 or more
facts, in complete sentences. Remember to name your topic
writing:
A desert is ________________________. .
A desert has _____________________ .
The ____________ desert is ________________ .
