The soil in a desert is dry and sandy.
The soil profile in a rain forest would be very rich in humus (decayed organic matter). The soil profile in a desert would be almost totally devoid of any organic matter.
The soil in a rain forest has more moisture than that in a desert.
A soil profile in a tropical rainforest tends to be thick with distinct layers due to high rainfall and rapid decomposition of organic matter. In contrast, desert soil profiles are typically shallow with little organic matter, as the low rainfall and high temperature limit plant growth and organic input, resulting in less developed soil horizons.
The soil profile is different because the desert soil profile has contained a little organic mater also are thinner than soils in wetter climates.Prairie soils have thick, dark A horizons because the grasses that grow there contribute lots of organic matter. Temperate forest soils have thinner A horizons than prairie soils do.

The Desert Soil
No desert has sand not soil.
A tropical rainforest gets much more precipitation than a desert gets, so, the tropical rain forest's soil is even more moister than dessert soil, the dessert soil is exceedingly dry.
If you go to http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/S/Soil.html and scroll down to the bottom of the page it will have the soil profile for deserts on there. It's mainly only about the salt on the topsoil tho, so you may have to do more research. Hope it helps tho.
A soil horizon is a distinct layer in the soil that is parallel to the soil surface and has unique characteristics. A soil profile is a vertical section of the soil that shows the arrangement of these horizons from the surface to the underlying bedrock. Soil horizons collectively make up the soil profile, providing information about the soil's properties and history.
The soil profile is the section of soil going down vertically. Soil pedon is a portion of soil which used for studying.
absolutly not! the desert is full of sand not soil there fore rick soil would not be found in the desert
