Blooms In March 2016, Death Valley National Park in California experienced a rare occurrence:
thousands of yellow wildflowers covered the region in a "super bloom." Why was this
unusual? Death Valley is the hottest and driest place in North America. The area's
average yearly precipitation is just two inches, making it a challenging place for flower
to grow. However, in October 2015, the valley had received more than three inches of
rain in some areas. As a result of the unusually wet season, wildflower seeds that had
been lying dormant underground suddenly began to grow, producing an abundance of
golden blooms.
What is the main idea of the passage?
Because of the hot, dry conditions in Death Valley, it is difficult for flowers to
grow there.
Because of an unusual amount of rain, thousands of wildflowers grew in Death
Valley in 2016.
