A heavy rain shower in a desert area can cause a large amount of erosion because there is a lack of vegetation to hold the soil in place. Without the roots of plants to help stabilize the soil, the rain can easily wash away the loose sediments, causing erosion to occur. Additionally, the dry and compacted soil in desert areas may not be able to absorb the large amount of precipitation, leading to surface runoff and further erosion. Streams or creeks in desert areas may also easily overflow during heavy rainfall, contributing to erosion as the water flows over the land.
