The Rain That Never Came
How are deserts made?
A desert isn't made all at once by some giant oven in the sky. It's made slowly, over thousands of years, when the right ingredients come together in just the right way — and the most important ingredient is missing rain.
Rain happens when warm, wet air rises up into the sky and cools down. The water inside it turns into droplets — clouds — and eventually falls back down. But some places on Earth barely get this gift. Why?
