Why The upper layer of desert soil is rich in minerals because?
the lack of rainfall in deserts prevents minerals from being leached out through water runoff, allowing them to accumulate in the soil over time. Additionally, the breakdown of rocks and minerals by wind and weathering contributes to the mineral content in desert soils. This combination of factors can result in the upper layer of desert soil being rich in minerals.
