  9. How Desert Plants Adapt • Plants such as the cactus,aloes and agaves, beat the dry heat by storing plenty of water on their roots, stems or leaves. • /.

  10. Sidra Tree • The Sidra tree is deep rooted that take the moisture from the ground. • http://www.qatartourism.gov.qa/discover/index/1/178

  11. Palm Tree • The Palm trees have huge deep roots in to the sand that absorb waters that are in low levels of the sand and preserve water into its thick trunk.

  12. The Important Abiotic Factors That Affect Animals and Plants. • Few animals and plants are adapted to the tremendously dry desert life, but still the desert is a vital biome. It covers about a fifth of the earth's surface, which is why it is important. • There are both hot and cold deserts. Antarctica is the largest desert in the world, while the Sahara in Africa is the largest of the hot deserts.

  13. Human Activates that Affect the Desert. • Off roading, many people drive their vehicles in unrestricted areas all over the desert. This will leave scars on the land for decades. • Camping in the desert in unrestricted areas pollute the desert. • Hunting is another human activity that’s needs to stop because it will kill lots of animals. • People do these activities for fun and to waste time and they do not know how the desert is fragile and would take decades to revive again because of lack of water.

  14. What Can Be Done to Prevent The bad Human Activities • Education and awareness of the importance of the environment protection measures of the public. E.g. at school, media. • Provide protected areas for people to have fun while not harming the environment. • The government should abandon the hunting of animals.
