A line connecting points on a map that receive equal amounts of rainfall is called an isohyetal line. It helps to visualize and understand the distribution of rainfall across a geographical area. Each point on the line represents the same amount of precipitation.

A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 25 cm of rainfall per year on average. Some deserts receive much less than that.
All deserts receive less than 10 inches (250 mm) of rainfall on average per year. Some receive virtually no rainfall for decades or even centuries.
