Question

Why is the wind action strong in the desert

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The action of wind erosion is more prominent in deserts because there is little vegetation cover and the soil cover is loose. As such, sediments get easily carried and deposited by winds.Besides, absence of other agents of erosion like water and ice makes wind the most prominentweathering agent in the deserts.

This is what one of our teachers made us write.

The speed of wind depends only on the pressure gradient; sometimes it is also decided by topography (undulations of the plain land and hill features). Katabatic wind is that one comes down the hills(by night) and the anabatic winds are the ones that go up a slope (by day). Deserts too can have calm wind or strong wind; only the pressure gradient (number of isobars) decides the strength of surface wind.
