Answer 2

All of the reasons mentioned above are true for the why deserts extremely susceptible to wind erosion EXCEPT they contain thin, dry soil.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The wind erosion is caused due to the soil particles carried away by the wind.

• As the desert lacks the plants and roots that prevents the soil from carrying away by the wind.

• Also, deserts lack water that makes the soil humid and heavy which cannot be carried away by the wind easily causing the wind erosion.
