Desertification increases runoff,erosion,recharge,and soil structure decline.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desertification is the process of land becoming desert-like, which typically involves a loss of vegetation and soil degradation. As a result of desertification, there is less vegetation to intercept rainfall, which can lead to increased runoff and erosion. However, desertification also typically results in a decline in recharge (i.e. the replenishment of groundwater) and soil structure, as the soil becomes more compacted and less able to retain moisture. Therefore, the statement that desertification increases recharge and soil structure decline is incorrect, making option B the correct answer.
