Desert Color 308 - #C19A6B

A desert is a landscape or region of land that is very dry because of low rainfall amounts (precipitation), often has little coverage by plants, and in which streams dry up unless they are supplied by water from outside areas. Deserts can also be described as areas where more water is lost by evapotranspiration than falls as precipitation. Desert plants must have special adaptations to survive with this little water.

Deserts have been defined and classified in a number of ways, generally combining total rainfall, number of days on which rain falls, temperature, and humidity, and sometimes additional factors. Deserts are sometimes classified as "hot" or "cold", "semiarid" or "coastal." Cold deserts can be covered with snow or ice for part of the year; frozen water unavailable to plant life. Semiarid deserts have long, mostly dry summers and little rainfall in winter.
