The water cycle

Today on my journey through the desert biome I learned all about the water cycle in the desert. I found this really interesting because rain fall is so scarce in this specific biome. Though it is scarce, the water cycle still happens. When it rains, the plants suck up whatever they can and store it in their roots. An example of a plant in the desert that conserves water is the cactus. When it rains, the plants must store the water because the water cycle moves so slowly in the desert. The desert watersheds are often located underground in aquifers. Water held in a desert watershed rarely ever makes it into the ocean. Even though the desert biome does not frequently go through the water cycle, it still happens.
