and grass in some places. Some deserts are hot all year round, while others are

on the desert life. Humans can come in and kill off the animals in the desert.

animals that leave that area. Too many crops spoil the soil in the desert.
People plant crops for food and after a few years the soil spoils so the people
leave and that soil turns to sand and becomes desert and the people keep doing
that and the desert becomes bigger. People cut down the few trees in the desert
and the desert becomes bare. The people Use the trees for fuel and burn.
In deserts, destruction of the indigenous vegetation has quickly led to
