Answer

Wind erosion is relatively more important in dry regions than in humid areas because dry regions lack significant vegetation and moisture that could help bind the soil and protect it from wind action. In humid areas, the presence of vegetation and higher moisture content tends to stabilize the soil, reducing the impact of wind erosion.
