Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Deserts and barren land have fewer plantations. As a result, the soil in those regions becomes loose and is easily eroded by wind. Thus soil erosion is more severe in deserts and bare land.
Detailed explanation-2: -Wind erosion phenomena will increase proportionately in the presence of strong, regular prevailing winds or gusts. Soil texture. Loamy sand, rich in particles between 10 and 100 microns in size, is the most vulnerable soil (Bagnold 1937). More clayey soil is much stickier, better-structured, and hence more resistant.
