Death Valley isn't an easy place to live in.It gets less than two feet of rain a year and it's hot too.In July,the temperature often reaches over 49 C.There is even a lake that has turned into salt crystals().But it is cold at night in winter.When it gets cold enough,the water on the ground will turn into very thin ice.Then the strong wind-like a large hand-can move the rocks along the icy ground.That is why the rocks can“walk”on their own in Death Valley. Although the weather condition in Death Valley is terrible,it is still filled with lives.Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home.People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there.It also has 51 kinds of mammals(哺乳动物)，6 kinds of fishes,and more than300 kinds of birds..The animals aren't all small either..

Most deserts have less than 10 inches of rain each year.However,in some deserts of South America,it is true that rain almost never falls.All the rain falls within a single month! Some deserts are very cold. Temperatures in deserts can reach above 37.8 C during the day,but can fall below zero at night.57. The Gobi in Asia has icy temperatures for as long as six months at a time. Not all deserts are flat and sandy. Although deserts can be low and flat,some have rocky hills and even mountains.58 59. To survive in a dry desert environment,plants and animals must make some changes.Desert plants can't grow too close together because each plant would not get enough water.Other animals stay in holes underground or rest in the shade(阴凉处)to keep away from the heat of the day. There are many deserts in the world. 60..The largest desert in the world is the Sahara Desert.It covers an area about the size of the US. A.Little rain falls in the desert.
