Transform: The plates slide past each other, one going forwards, the other going back, kind of grinding each other. A Transform Boundary is also a fault, so it causes Earthquakes mostly.
Convergent: When two plates collide with each other. They form subduction mostly and trenches. They can also create volcanoes or volcanic islands.
Divergent: When two boundaries move away from each other. They form rift valleys, mountain ranges

Answer:

Orange Groves are affected by the climate of the region.  In the US, states such as Florida and Georgia are the biggest orange producers because of their climate. Also, oranges need good soil to grow, so dry soils are not suitable for growing oranges.

Nurseries are more "human controlled" than orange groves. A big human factor that plays  a role in growing the food properly is temperature. If the temperature is too hot or cold, the plants  may not grow properly and might even die. Also,  many nurseries can control the humidity inside the nursery.  Some plants require specific humidities to grow- and are vulnerable to a change in humidity.

Coffee plants require moist soil to be grown well. Thus, if the soil is too dry, the coffee plant may die.  In  other words, a coffee plant would grow much better  in a farm, than a desert. Also, Coffee Plants require a high temperature, and that is why most of the world's coffee is grown in places like Africa and South America as they have hotter temperatures.

People living in the Sahel region in countries such as the Sudan, Chad, and neighboring Ethiopia suffer from undernourishment, d
olganol [36]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Undernourishment

This is defined as being unable to take the required amount of food and nutrients for energy that the body needs per day. This has to have gone on for a year for it to be classified as Undernourishment.

Desertification

This refers to a situation where land that was once fertile looses that fertility and instead begins to become more desert like. This is very prevalant in the Sahel region of Africa and can be caused by droughts and inefficient farming practices.

Food Security

This is defined as the access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food at all times needed to be able to sustain the human body by meeting the minimum amount of recommended energy that the body requires to function.

The Sahel is an area immediately south of the Sahara Desert. It is semi-arid in nature and is prone to prolonged periods of drought.

When this drought occurs it tends to cause soil that was once fertile to begin to turn into a desert like soil due to the soil not getting water for such a prolonged period of time.

When there is a lot of fertile land used for farming lost to desertification then the people in those areas cannot farm and get food needed to survive. This causes Food Security issues because people do not have access to food that they require to survive.

Should this happen and the people there go through Food security crisis, they will become undernourished as they are unable to take the recommended amount of food necessary.
