Answer:

1. Is a natural process of the minerals and things inside of rock but is not being destroyed, rather moved.

2. Weathering breaks down the material while erosion just moves it.

3. Gully,rill, and sheet

4. Climatic characteristics( rainfall,wind and atmosphere"temp")

5. They're effected by temp and perspiration(rain) there will be more flooding for a mid temp and rainy area, a dry and hot area will have more rocky areas.

6. Wet areas will erode away and have less land to use while the dry areas will have low nutrients dirt and more rocks than actual dirt.

7. It makes soil lose nutrients and cause tons of farmland to lose a good quality of use.

8. Farmland won't produce as much because there's nothing to fuel the plant growth.

9. Farmers and humans will need to move around more/tear down more natural land to find suitable soil or else there will be famine all over.

10. Since farmers have to move massive amounts of soil in order to fertilize the land, it can cause erosion from the wind rain etc. causing land to fail because mudslides etc. Famine would start to set in because there would be no more suitable land for farmers because they'd move around and destroy the land to where it's unusable.

Explanation: I went in and edited the answer above mine so I could spare you the trouble of editing. Have a great day :)

#1 is a natural process of the minerals and things in rock is not destroyed but rather moved.

#2 weathering breaks down the material while erosion just moves it.

#3 <em><u>gully,rill, and sheet</u></em>

#4 climatic characteristics( rainfall,wind and atmosphere"temp")

#5 they are effected bye temp ans perspiration(rain) there will be more flooding for a mid temp and rainy area while a dry and hot area will have more rocky areas

#6 wet areas will erode away and have less land to use and the dry areas will have nutrient low sand and more rocks then actual dirt

#7 it makes the soil loose the nutrient s and casue tons fo farmland to loose a good quality of use.

#8 farm land wont produce as much cause there is nothing to fuel the plant growth.

#9 farmers and humans will need to move around more and tear down more natural land to find suitable soil or else there will be famine all over

#10 since farmers have to till massive amounts of tops soil in order to be able to use the land it cause erosion from the wind rain etc. causing land to fail cause mudslides etc. then famine start setting in cause there would be now more suitable land for farming cause farmers would move around and use up all the land.


i hope these are right if one is wrong then put in comments

What is the difference between arid conditions and a drought? ​
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

When discussing drought, one must have an understanding of aridity and the difference between the two. Aridity is defined, in meteorology and climatology, as "the degree to which a climate lacks effective, life-promoting moisture" (Glossary of Meteorology, American Meteorological Society). Drought is "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently long enough to cause a serious hydrological imbalance". Aridity is measured by comparing long-term average water supply (precipitation) to long-term average water demand (evapotranspiration). If demand is greater than supply, on average, then the climate is arid. Drought refers to the moisture balance that happens on a month-to-month (or more frequent) basis. If the water supply is less than water demand for a given month, then that month is abnormally dry; if there is a serious hydrological impact, then a drought is occurring that month. Aridity is permanent, while drought is temporary.
