Approximately 1/3 of the Earth's land surface is desert. This is arid land with meager rainfall that supports only sparse vegetation and a limited population of people and animals. These arid regions are called deserts because they are dry. Some deserts are hot, and some are cold. They may be regions of sand or vast areas of rocks and gravel peppered with occasional plants. But all deserts have very little precipitation.
