Expert Answer
The physiological factors have played a crucial role leading to wind erosion in the Western Ghats. Due to scarce rainfall, the vegetation is sparse. Wind erosion is the extreme form of soil degradation due to aridity. Goa, which forms part of the Western Ghats region is also exposed to mining. The southern part of the Western Ghats is also semi arid as it is devoid of vegetation. Extremely dry weather with sparse vegetation in the Western Ghats has resulted in the soil erosion (by wind).
