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.
Why is a desert dry?
Because there is little to no water around. Therefore no plants etc To answer this question it's helpful to understand how deserts are formed. Deserts can be formed by wind erosion, rain shadows, etc..
What are some plants that grow in the deserts of Europe?

What plants are found in African deserts?
The most common plants in deserts are cacti. These plants are able to go for long period of time without water and that is why they do well in deserts.
Does it grow faster in moist or dry places?
Plants typically grow faster in moist places because water is essential for their growth and nutrient uptake. In dry conditions, plants may struggle to photosynthesize and obtain enough water, which can slow down their growth rate.
What state would not have native desert plants?
All the mainland states have deserts, and all have native plants. Tasmania has no deserts, so logically it has no native desert plants. However it may have plants, also found in deserts.
What are the benefits of deserts?
the benefits are the plants (cacti) that grows only in deserts
What plants are in the deserts or tundra in Romania?
Romania hasn't tundra and deserts.
Most soil erosion is caused by?
Water, wind, and human activities are the main causes of soil erosion. Water erosion, often from heavy rainfall or runoff, is the most significant cause of soil erosion globally. Wind erosion is more prevalent in drier regions with sandy soils. Human activities such as deforestation, overgrazing, and inappropriate agricultural practices can accelerate erosion rates.
What is the importance of deserts?
The importance of the deserts are..- Deserts are fertile for animals & plants. *Fertile: good place to live
