Question

Africa faces many environmental challenges, such as lack of access to clean water, deforestation and desertification, and droughts. Pick TWO of these challenges to explain how they impact people living in Africa, then list at least one potential solution. ___________ is an environmental challenge facing Africa because _________. To address the issue of __________ we can _____________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Deforestation, and desertification. Deforestation can cause desertification, and desertification can cause droughts. To address this issue of deforestation, we could stop using urbanizing Africa, and start rebuilding its ecosystems.

Explanation:

No ecosystem can function without water, and in order to stop deforestation, we need to stop desertification, and vice versa. Deforestation causes desertification, because without trees, the water in the ground is easy (for the sun) to evaporate, and without water trees can't grow.
