Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desertification refers to the process of degradation of land in arid, semi-arid, or dry sub-humid areas due to various factors such as climatic changes, human activities, and natural disasters. Climate change, such as prolonged droughts and increase in temperatures, can lead to soil degradation, reduced soil moisture, loss of vegetation, and ultimately desertification. Earthquakes, landslides, and flooding can cause severe damage to the land but may not necessarily result in desertification.
