Answer:
Malleable and ductile properties indeed help minerals useful. Both properties are useful because they help in transforming the shapes of minerals. Malleability is a useful property since it can be flattened or pounded by a hammer. Also, the ductile property makes it possible for the minerals to be stretched in the form of a wire. These two properties makes it useful for minerals.

This is because the extensive grazing means that the ecosystem in the desert which comprises of the flora has seen its resources being overused and can now no longer support the organisms in it.
