Fog and Snow

Fog is common in coastal deserts, such as the Atacama in Chile, and the Nambi of Southwestern Africa. Pictures in order up above as stated.

Flowing along these coasts are cold-water currents; these currents cool down the air above them, and the moisture in the air condenses the fog. Fog is a vital life giving source of water, but in the Nambi Desert, it only rolls in from the sea about 60 days a year. While fog is common in deserts by the sea, snow can fall during winter in cold deserts such as these dunes in the Great Basin Desert, in the Western U. S. (latest picture added).
Frost can occur during the winter even in the hottest deserts.

In the Arabian Desert fossil remains were found that were of a small kind of hippopotamus. This proves that the climate was once a little wetter there of course. Hippos need lush and humid conditions. Remains from the Stone Age show hippos also lurked in the marshes once found in the barren Sahara which may shock you has gone through several eet and dry climates cycles. (this doesn't shock me but is proof enough to me that we just need to broaden our ignorant human minds and try thinkingstop thinking why we need to understand everything with all brain cells. This is proof that we won't understand everything happening now).

Rocks in the desert are weathered or worn away by wind, extreme temperatures, and rare but torrential rains. Strong winds pick up sand, which thrn scours away at the rock, much similar like sandblasting process used to clean dirt off old stone buildings. These sandstone cliffs are in the Jordian Desert. At the top of the cliff is a natural bridge.
