Tell us about the economic activities of people in the desert.

To understand and describe the economic activities of people in the desert, you need to know the climatic features of such areas:

the desert is characterized by a low amount of precipitation. Rains there are extremely rare. Therefore, people cannot count on them. Sources of moisture are rare wells, from which people do not go far;
desert vegetation is very scarce. There are no forests, no abundance of shrubs. Accordingly, there is especially nowhere to hide from the heat and sun. Therefore, people traditionally used cloth to wrap their heads and cover their faces, protecting them from sand;
these conditions are very difficult for animals. In the absence of meadows and forests, it is impossible to feed large herds of cattle and pigs; the absence of forest means the impossibility of building wooden houses and public buildings.

Thus, the economic activity of people in the desert is rather complicated. They raise camels and rams, as they are the most unpretentious animals. People know how to find and save water. They build dwellings from baked clay. At the same time, the roofs are made flat, because there is no rain or melting snow. Therefore, it is not necessary to make slopes to protect the roof.
