Answer: The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.
Explanation:
This is what causes the seasons. When the earth's axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth's axis points away, winter can be expected.
Answer: Is prone to desertification or drought.
Explanation: The Sahel region is located in Africa between the Sahara to the north and the Sudanian Savanna to the south.
The Sahel has a semi arid climate which is characterized by precipitation below potential evapotranspiration.
What this means is that the amount of water that would be evaporated and transpired by a specific crop or ecosystem is low. This region is prone to desertification or drought because of the low amount of water evaporated and transpirated in the region.
