Answer:
The term 'Oasis' is used to refer to the place where water is found in the desert.
Explanation:
- In the hot arid deserts there is an extreme scarcity of water. Abundant sources of water like rivers or lakes are impossible to find in biomes like deserts.
- The only source of freshwater in deserts is 'oasis'. Oasis are small ponds of freshwater particularly found in the deserts.
- When the winds cut through the layers of sand, the water stored in the depths of the ground is surfaced and tiny ponds named oasis are formed.
