The Formation of Oasis

Question

How is an oasis formed?

Answer

- A pre-existing depression is deepened by eddy action/ deflation
- Gradually the depression is excavated through wind abrasions
- The surface is lowered until it reaches the water bearing rock/ aquifer / table
- Water oozes out of the ground and collects in the depression to form an oasis
