An area characterized by low rainfall and a high evaporation rate is referred to as an arid region or desert. These areas receive less than 250 millimeters of rain annually and often have extreme temperatures. Due to the high evaporation rates, the climate can lead to drought conditions, making it difficult for most plant and animal life to thrive. Arid regions, while challenging for sustaining life, are often home to specially adapted organisms that can survive with minimal water. These adaptations include drought-resistant plants and animals that can conserve water efficiently, showcasing the remarkable resilience of life in extreme environments.
