Evolution involves constant random experimentation, leading to many different kinds of results. Every ecological niche has more than one species, and more than one adaptation. Think of how many different kinds of creatures have adapted to living underwater, and the tremendous number of different adaptations for doing so. There is no reason why there would be only one adaptation for desert plants.

Which deserts do cacti live in?
Cacti are primarily plants found in the Americas. Some have been taken to other areas of the world and introduced where they quickly become noxious invasive plants. Various prickly pear species are the prime culprits.
Did people adapt or evolve?
Both. People have adapted to their environments through cultural practices, such as building shelters or creating clothing to survive in different climates. Similarly, humans have evolved over time through genetic changes that have been passed down through generations, allowing for better adaptation to various challenges.
When did vascular plants most likely evolve What is the evidence for the time scale?
Vascular plants most likely evolved around 400-450 million years ago during the Ordovician period. Fossil evidence, including early vascular plant fossils such as Cooksonia, suggests that these plants emerged during this period. Additionally, molecular clock studies also support this time frame for the evolution of vascular plants.
Why were there no plants during the Cambrian time era?
There were simple plants in the Cambrian Period(542 - 488.3Ma). Fossil algae has been found in Cambrian Rocks. Evidence of primitive algae from the Precambrian Super-Eon has also been found but exact classification has not been established. It is true that embryophytes (Plants we most recognise) did not evolve until the Ordovician Period(488.3 - 443.7Ma).
How many people have never been in the forest?
Approximately millions because there are no forests in deserts.
What plants have been evolved in the forests that became coal deposits?
Pine trees.
What is the difference between a trait and a adaptation?
A trait is a characteristic or feature of an organism, while an adaptation is a trait that has evolved to enhance an organism's survival and reproduction in its environment. Adaptations are traits that have been shaped by natural selection to better suit an organism's ecological niche.
Are there cacti in the Great Victoria Desert?
Cacti are strictly plants of the Americas. However, cacti, especially prickly pears, have been introduced into a number of deserts around the world and they have become a noxious invasive species.Cacti are strictly plants of the Americas.

What is Darwins greatest scientific contribution?
Charles Darwin's greatest scientific contribution is his work on the Theory of Evolution. Without it, the fact that plants and animals evolved from its ancestors would not have been discovered.
What are some dominant animals in the desert?
Depends on the type and location of the desert. Most deserts have endemic apex species. Most north American deserts have some form of cactus as the predominant specie, where as African deserts do not have endemic cactus species.It is safe to say that the prevalent plant species in a hot, dry desert is zerophytic.Of course not all deserts are hot, there are also cold deserts such as Antartica, where there are no plant species.Depends which desert.most are dominated by many kinds of plants which have been specially adapted to survive there such as cacti
1 animal that has been evolved?
Virtually all animals have "evolved".
Are there deserts in Austria?
nope.well not that have been found.
What is growth and origin of plants?
The origin of plants goes back at least 510 million years ago. They evolved from chlorophyte algae and have been growing ever since. Plant life and growth is abundant in many places on Earth.
How has the elephant species evolved overtime?
Elephants have evolved with tusks! They have been hunted by poachers for their tusks, so they have evolved to not have tusks. :)

Can you ground your indoor plants by a wire to benefit from the earth's natural charge?
Yes. By electrically reconnecting plants (in insulated containers) back to the Earth, you bring them into equipotential with the ground state of the Earth. This is the condition that plants have naturally evolved in. The benefits of this reconnection have been rediscovered and are being presented by a company called Earth & Grow.
What is the cold desert?
There are cold deserts and there are cold winter deserts as well as cool coastal deserts. The coldest and largest desert is Antarctica. Temperatures have been measured there at less than -130 degrees F.
