1:Paloverde tree.... it shades the ground beneath

and keeps the soil from drying out in the hot sun.

2:Creosote... they go deep in the soil and seek out

water that no other plants can reach.

The Plants That Live On The Desert Had To Adapt On How They Could Conserve Water. They Evolved To Tightened Their Leaves Into Sharp Needle Like Leaves. Plants That Have Adapted by Alternating Their Physical Structure Are Called Xerophtes.

When the cool air begins to fall back toward the ground, or descend, it starts to warm up again. This warm, dry air can hold a lot of water, so the air starts to suck up what little water is around. At 30 to 50 degrees north and south of the equator, this falling air makes dry air drier

he traditional building material in the Southwest and other hot climates is adobe. The thick walls are made of adobe blocks -- a mixture of clay, sand, straw and water -- which were originally dried in the hot summer sun. The heavy walls provide a thermal mass that slowly absorbs heat during the day and radiates it at night. In winter, corner fireplaces release heat into the rooms. The thick walls hold the heat in and keep winter cold outside.

Modern builders add emulsified asphalt or Portland cement to increase the strength of the blocks and improve water resistance. A tile or metal roof that reflects the sun's heat away from the building and a deep overhang and porch, especially on the south side, help keep the building cool and protect the adobe from winter rains. Stepping from summer heat into an adobe building provides rapid relief from 100 degree-plus temperatures.

Designed to resemble a shadow, this desert house by Oller & Pejic features black walls, so that it is easy to rest the eyes on when the sunlight is painfully harsh. During the day, the interior of the house recedes and the views are more pronounced. At night the house completely dematerialises and the muted lighting and stars outside blend to form an infinite backdrop for contemplation," said the architects

The best building materials for a desert climate should be made of thick and durable structures to repel the high exterior temperatures. Additionally, lighter color schemes such as beige and grey and sturdy interior insulation are recommended to reflect and trap heat before it reaches the interior.

Many homes built in the desert regions of the U.S. are standard tract designs, ranging from ranches to contemporary styles, that incorporate air-conditioning systems to make the temperatures bearable. While increased insulation and air-conditioning make living in the desert possible, there are other building methods that save energy while accommodating summer heat and winter cold

The wind turns pebbles into sand and dust.

The desert is the home of many dust storms.

One of the largest cacti found in the desert is the giant saguaro cactus, it can get over 50 feet tall.

The plants that store water in their stems are called succulents.

Sonoran Desert skies are such a deep blue (to human eyes) because desert air is unusually pure, that is, compared to the air above many other places on the planet; it's relatively free of the tiny floating particles and droplets called aerosols.
