Most of the eastern United States is humid. How does the humidity on the East Coast prevent desertification?

Trees release water vapor into the air through transpiration, helping maintain moisture, and their roots and ground cover help hold soil in place. This vegetation can reduce the drying and erosion that contribute to desertification, so the best choice is that the East Coast’s humidity is related to trees that restore moisture to the air and help preserve soil.
