High mountain ranges can block clouds and moisture from reaching certain areas of a continent, causing a 'rain shadow' that prevents rain from falling in deserts. Examples can be seen in the southwestn United States and Chile. Mountains block moisture from reaching an area and the area becomes a desert.
Desert animals stay dry when it rains. When the rain stops, they come out to drink water.
An ephemeral stream is a stream that flow with water only following rain storms. The stream quickly disappears when the rain stops.
A rain shadow desert forms because the mountains are blocking the main water supply from getting that region, thus creating a desert.
