=Human Effects on the Desert =

A desert is very dangerous, it could even be deadly for unprepared humans. In hot deserts, high temperatures makes you lose a lot of water due to sweating, and with minimal to no water sources with which to replenish your body can result in dehydration and death. Also, unprotected humans are at risk from heatstroke. There are a lot of things that humans can, have, and will continue to do that hurt the desert. Off roading is one of these activities. Many people drive their off road vehicles all over the desert. Their vehicles leave tracks on the soil, which will scar the land for decades. These tracks also kill off vegetation. When vegetation is harmed, so are the animals. When vegetation dwindles in population, in popular off roading areas, so does the animal population. Animals that hide in the sand can also be harmed. The sand viper, which hides so well in the soil, can become an accidental victim of off roading mayhem.
