Why does erosion occur faster in deserts than with a thick layer of vegetation?

Erosion occurs faster in deserts because the lack of vegetation exposes the soil to the elements, increasing the impact of wind and water. In contrast, thick vegetation acts as a protective layer that helps reduce the force of wind and water, thus slowing down erosion.


Wind erosion occurs at a faster rate in deserts than in places with a thick layer of vegetation covering the ground why do you think this is the case?

In deserts, the lack of vegetation means there are fewer plants to hold the soil in place, making it more susceptible to erosion by wind. The sparse plant cover in deserts also means there are fewer roots to bind the soil together, increasing its vulnerability to being picked up and carried by wind. Additionally, the arid conditions in deserts often result in loose, dry soil that is easily disturbed and moved by wind.
