Why is wind erosion relatively more effective in arid regions than in humid areas?
What will be an ideal response?
Wind erosion is relatively more effective in arid regions than in humid areas because in humid places, moisture binds particles together and vegetation anchors the soil. For wind to be an effective erosional force, dryness and a lack of vegetation are important for wind to be able to pick up loose sediment and move it around.
