Why do you think crops are grown near an oasis?
Answers
Answer:
There is water nearby, allowing plants to grow in uninterrupted sunshine and warmth during the day. Dates, cotton, olives, figs, citrus fruits, wheat and corn (maize) are common oasis crops. Underground water sources called aquifers supply most oases.
Answer:
There is water nearby, allowing plants to grow in uninterrupted sunshine and warmth during the day. ... Water attracts wildlife, which fertilize the soil after eating the plants and drinking the water.
Underground water sources called aquifers supply water sources to most oases. These natural springs may rise to the surface naturally, or people may dig in the ground to release the water. This allows the water to make the ground fertile: this means the soil has nutrients, so plants can grow.
