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.
Urbanization became famous during industry revolution. There were factories being built and also there were more agricultural workers attracted to the work available then in the cities and also there were new immigrants that increases the population of the cities.
Explanation:It is moving WSW at 2.2 cm (0.87 in)/year and the South Sandwich Plate is moving east at 5.5 cm (2.2 in)/year in an absolute reference frame. The Scotia Plate is made of oceanic crust and continental fragments now distributed around the Scotia Sea.
Im not sure what you mean but, <span>Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the </span>lithosphere) is divided into a couple of dozen "plates" that move around across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake. the theory can best be described as <span>earth's natural process by which its lithospheric plates slowly move about because of movement in the asthenosphere. </span>
