what kinds of animals can we see there?
Addax antelope, dik-dik, Grant's gazelle, camel
Desert
t. Herbivorous mammals obtain moisture from the plants they eat. Species such as the addax antelope, dik-dik, Grant's gazelle and oryx are so efficient at doing this that they apparently never need to drink. The camel is a superb example of a mammal adapted to desert life. It minimizes its water loss by producing concentrated urine and dry dung, and is able to lose 40% of its body weight through water loss without dying of dehydration.
where do we find deserts and what causes them to occur UNANSWERABLE what is a desert? A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. can we find water there? Lakes may form in basins where there is sufficient precipitation or meltwater from glaciers above. is farming possible there? Yes, traditional desert farming systems have long been established in North Africa, irrigation being the key to success in an area where water stress is a limiting factor to growth. what crops are cultivated? UNANSWERABLE what connection does human have with it? Humans have long made use of deserts as places to live, and more recently have started to exploit them for minerals and energy capture what natural resources are available there? Copper, iron, uranium is the first element used in architecture? Yes, copper's architectural use has been expanded in modern times to include interior and exterior wall cladding, building expansion joints, radio frequency shielding, and antimicrobial and decorative indoor products such as attractive handrails, bathroom fixtures, and counter tops. what are its other applications? The major applications of copper are electrical wire, roofing and plumbing, and industrial machinery is this element prescribed for any diet? The U.S. Institute of Medicine updated the estimated average requirements and recommended dietary allowances for copper in 2001. what nutrition does it provide? UNANSWERABLE are the barren areas discussed above present in other planets? Yes, Mars is the only other planet in the Solar System besides Earth on which deserts have been identified

Desert [SEP] Fauna
The Desert rain frog of Namibia is nocturnal and survives because of the damp sea fogs that roll in from the Atlantic. Invertebrates, particularly arthropods, have successfully made their homes in the desert. Flies, beetles, ants, termites, locusts, millipedes, scorpions and spiders have hard cuticles which are impervious to water and many of them lay their eggs underground and their young develop away from the temperature extremes at the surface. The Saharan silver ant ("Cataglyphis bombycina") uses a heat shock protein in a novel way and forages in the open during brief forays in the heat of the day. The long-legged darkling beetle in Namibia stands on its front legs and raises its carapace to catch the morning mist as condensate, funnelling the water into its mouth.
