Wet soil sticks together, and the particles are not easily moved by wind. Dry soil, particles do NOT clump, and are easily moved by wind. And if you write in this area, the computer thinks your question has been answered, and you only get an answer if one of us catches it.

Why is wind erosion more likely to happen in dry areas then moist areas?

Wind erosion is more likely to occur in dry areas because moist soil is typically held together by water, making it less susceptible to being blown away by the wind. In dry areas, soil particles are often loose and exposed, easily picked up and carried by strong winds. Furthermore, dry environments often lack substantial vegetation cover to anchor the soil in place, further increasing the susceptibility to wind erosion.


What time of year are tornadoes most likely to happen?

Tornadoes are most likely to happen in the spring and early summer months, typically from March to June in the United States. This is when warm, moist air masses clash with cooler, drier air masses, creating the unstable atmospheric conditions favorable for tornado formation.


Tornadoes are likely to occur over flat areas such as?

Tornadoes are likely to occur over flat areas such as plains and grasslands due to the absence of geographical features that can disrupt wind patterns. Flat areas provide the ideal conditions for the formation of tornadoes by allowing warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to collide with cool, dry air from the north, resulting in the development of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.


What is the process in which dry conditions spread into area's that are moist?

Desertification


A maritime tropical air mass is likely to be?

A maritime tropical air mass is likely to be warm and humid, originating from tropical waters such as the Gulf of Mexico. It often brings hot, moist weather and can result in heavy rainfall and thunderstorms.
