Semiarid regions receive more rainfall than deserts, typically ranging from 10 to 20 inches annually, which supports a more diverse range of vegetation and wildlife. While deserts are characterized by extremely low precipitation (less than 10 inches per year) and arid conditions, semiarid areas often experience seasonal droughts and have more pronounced wet and dry seasons. Additionally, semiarid regions may have more fertile soil compared to the often sandy or rocky soils found in deserts, allowing for some agricultural activities.
