deserts . Scientists think that people make deserts . People are doing bad things to the earth .
    Some places on the earth don’t get very much rain . But they still don’t become desert . This is because some green plants are growing there . Small green plants and grass are very helpful to dry places . Plants
don’t let the hot sun make the earth even drier . Plants don’t let the wind blow the earth away . When a
little bit of rain falls , the plants hold the water . Without plants , the land can become a desert much more
easily .
