Question

Why is wind an active agent of erosion in deserts. Explain two points
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Wind as a Geologic Agent Wind is common in arid desert regions because: Air near the surface is heated and rises, cooler air comes in to replace hot rising air and this movement of air results in winds. ... Wind has the ability to transport, erode, and deposit sediment.

Answer 2

Answer:

Wind is more effective at erosion in arid regions because in humid regions smaller particles are held together by the moisture in the soil and by plant roots from the vegetation. ... Eventually, most of the smaller particles will have been removed and the rockier surface left behind is called desert pavement.
