I wonder water can come up from the ground to create an oasis. Ring does fall in the desert sometimes but it’s not very often. Sometimes in the desert it is so hot that rain falls out of the clouds and evaporates before even hitting the ground.
These events are called Phantom rain. In hot deserts this water often sinks below the sands. When strong Desert Winds happen, they can reveal stores of water that fell in a rain a long time before some of the rain may have fallen as long as 20,000 years before the Oasis was uncovered.
Oasis are very helpful to people animals and insects that live in the desert as they are a place where they can come to eat and they can be used as a water source to grow food.
