Dust bunnies form from the surprisingly large supply of stuff in the air, including fibers from clothing fabrics and carpeting; hair; animal fur and dander; and especially human skin cells and the dust mites that feed on them, according to Joseph Laquatra Jr., professor of design and environmental analysis at the College of Human Ecology at Cornell.
How Deserts are Formed. Deserts are formed when rain clouds run into wind or mountains and drop rain in one area, leaving the land further away dry. Deserts that form near bodies of water are usually caused by winds. For example, the Sahara desert, near the Mediterranean. Deserts near mountains are formed when rain clouds drop their rain on one side, and the land on the other side of the mountains stays dry.
