How are deserts formed?
Image variations in temperature between
day and night put strains on the rocks
This causes them to consequently break in

Although rain seldom occurs in deserts,
there are occasional downpours.
Rain falling on hot rocks can cause them to
shatter into fragments
The desert floor is further eroded by the
wind
