what are some potenciol problems for the desert?
Some of the biggest problems facing the desert are habitat destruction, damage from excessive use and pollution. As technology gets better, people are better able to have a comfortable life in the desert thus opening areas that have not previously been seen as valuable living space. Despite appearing to be mostly dead, deserts are actually fragile ecosystems and something as simple as footsteps can cause damage that can take years to reverse. There are areas of the Mojave desert where the desert is still scarred from tank training in World War II. Since deserts were seen as dead places in the past, they have long been used as a dumping ground for toxins which are now seeping into the environment.
