Answer to Question 1

Erosion is enhanced by little vegetation cover and the inability of dry sparse soil and regolith to rapidly
absorb water.



Answer to Question 2

Some have widespread and shallow root systems, stems and leaves are usually hard and waxy, and
many have the ability to lie dormant for long periods between rainfalls
