The action of wind 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 prominent weathering agent in the deserts.

Hey.. Dude.. I think it will be helpful for uhhh..
One of the primary reasons why wind “action” (erosion/weathering, soil transport and deposition, etc.) is that deserts typically lack vegetation and obstructions that acts to slow surface winds. Additionally, large bare areas receiving intense sunlight are subject to differential heating. This influences air movement, influencing wind speed and direction.
Many desert areas show the effects of wind in sculpting and shaping the landscape in beautiful and bizarre ways
