The answer is - wind.

Wind is the most commonly used term for air movement. It is created when there's two air pressures with different values, the air that has a higher pressure always moves towards the air that has lower pressure, thus creating air movement or wind. Depending on the difference in the air pressure between the two air masses we can have winds that are very strong, standard winds, or very slow winds. The bigger the difference between the air pressures the stronger the wind is, the smaller the difference in air pressures the slower the wind is.

erastova [34]

The correct answer is - A. Desertification is increasing, and the desert is expanding.

The Sahara desert has been expanding in the past decades, and it has started to overtake territory south of it. This is mainly due to climate changes, the precipitation has been decreasing, the temperatures have been rising, so the desert has slowly crippled into the territories that were once steppes and savannas. There is an organized action from the people that leave on the borderline of the desert, where they have been thought some techniques as to how to stop the desert growing, and they have gladly accepted it and work hard on it. Initially it seems that there are positive results, but for sure only the time will tell.
