Some deserts occur naturally. They are simply areas with low rainfall. Not only do they have low rainfall but they can go a number of months or longer without any rain. Other deserts are man made. Some come about when people strip the natural vegetation from an area. Some result when people remove the little amount of water that exists. This wrecks the level of ground moisture. It reduces the humidity making it more difficult for plants to grow. It reduces the transpiration. It increases the albedo. Thus, people are creating deserts.
