Question

why is wind action more prominent in deserts

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

When deflation occurs in barren areas, it can cause most or all of the loose sediment to be removed and dispersed. This process often lowers the land surface a great deal. This can create a blowout, which is a depression on the land surface caused by wind erosion
