Deserts are parts of the Earth that receive little or no rain, 25 cm or less per year. The physical processes that act upon these parched lands are vastly different from those that shape the more humid parts of the terrestrial landmasses. In the desert, wind is a major agent of erosion and transportation. As the results of recent space missions have indicated, this is also true in the case of the planet Mars. Thus, our understanding of desert ...

Feathers are discarded in large quantities at industrial poultry-processing plants as a waste by-product leading to environmental pollution.
