Answer:
Desert soils form in areas where the demand for water by the atmosphere (evaporation) and plants (transpiration) is much greater than precipitation. Deserts cover 20 to 33% of the Earth's land surface, and can be found in the tropics, at the poles, and in between. Most desert soils are called Aridisols (dry soil).

Answer:
Desert soil is mostly sandy soil (90–95%) found in low-rainfall regions. It has a low content of nitrogen and organic matter with very high calcium carbonate and phosphate, thus making it infertile. ... This soil is susceptible to wind erosion and supports a low density of population.
