Humans tear up deserts with mining operations. They destroy habitats and set the stage for erosion by riding 4WD and all terrain vehicles across the deserts off of established roads. Humans consider the desert a trash dump and all manner of garbage is left there including old cars, discarded appliances, used motor oil.
