I mean, a desert is basically just a huge amount of sand but where does it stop, what is beneath? I googled it and it says there’s groundwater but what does that mean, and (how) is that even possible?
Edit: So, actually the main question I wanted to know is if there’s a exact border between sand and rock, or if the sand just gets denser and denser until it’s rock (but I believe the weight must not be that big), like Saturn or something.
(Yes, I know what a desert is but I specifically need to know about this certain type of desert)

Anything can be under desert sands, but eventually you will reach a depth at which the pore spaces or fractures in rock will be saturated with water. The water can be thousands of years old and can have migrated laterally from far away mountains where it originated
