Which of the following best explains why wind action is more predominant in Arid regions than in Humid regions?
Lack of surface drainage and the presence of strong winds
Excessively high temperature during the day and night
Loose surface materials and the absence of vegetation cover
Insufficient and unreliable rainfall
Förklaring
Wind action is more predominant in arid regions than in humid regions because of loose surface materials and the absence of vegetation cover. In arid regions, the lack of vegetation and loose surface materials allow wind to easily pick up and transport particles.
