Question

Why does wind erode the sand in deserts more than the dirt in forests?

a The dirt in forests is coarser than the sand in deserts.

b Forests have larger rocks than deserts.

c There is less water in forests to keep the soil moist.

d Deserts have less plant life to hold the soil in place.

Answer 1

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trees hold soil and dirt in place preventing the soil from flying off. Because there is nothing to anchor the sand in place, the wind blows it freely.
