What is a Desert?

Deserts are dry areas with very little rainfall . Deserts are

normally very hot during the day and cold at night . Even

though they can be hard places to live , many plants and

animals nd special ways to stay alive .

CALIFORNIA

Desert

The Sonoran

Desert is a

desert found in

the southwest

part of North

America .

These saguaro cacti in

Arizona can live in very hot

temperatures .

Living in a Desert

Many animals come out only at night when the Sun

goes down . This is when it is cool enough to move

around . Desert plants , such as cacti , save water . The

saguaro cactus is the largest cactus in the United

States . It lives only in the Sonoran Desert .

The Saguaro

Cactus Ecosystem

A system is made up of pieces working together . Each

part of the system relies on each other . An ecosystem

is a system made up of all the living and nonliving

things found in one place . A saguaro cactus is a type

of ecosystem .

Sand , sunlight , and

air are some of the

nonliving things found

around a saguaro

cactus ecosystem .

change as they grow . They make new living things .
