Explanation:
An oasis is a unique water landform: in order to be considered an oasis, the area has to be surrounded by desert, have a water source, and have vegetation. Many oases have underground water supplies called aquifers that make the land surrounding the oasis fertile enough to grow plants, like date palms.

Answer:
An oasis is a lush green area in the middle of a desert, centered around a natural spring or a well. It is almost a reverse island, in a sense, because it is a tiny area of water surrounded by a sea of sand or rock.
It has 3 major characteristics :
1) An area surrounded by desert
2) Has a water source
3) Supports vegetation and animal life
