What is under a (sand) desert?

513 views

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)

It starts with sand, then gradually sandstone, then to regular stone. You can mine the sandstone with any pickax, though iron or better is ideal. Just watch out when you dig up through sandstone so the sand doesn’t fall on you
