no a cyclone can not form over the desert because in order for a cyclone to form it needs the sun to raise the temperature of the sea to the point where it evaporates and the moisture from the water to rise so since the desert sand can not evaporate from the suns heat rays and there is no moisture in the air it is not possible for a cyclone to form

What happens to a cyclone as it moves over land?

As a cyclone moves over land, it loses its main energy source of warm ocean water, causing it to weaken. The friction from the land also disrupts the structure of the cyclone, causing it to break apart and dissipate more quickly than if it were over water.
