<u>Answer</u>:  

The factors that contribute to the process of desertification are:

1. Overgrazing  

2. Unsustainable agriculture techniques  

3. Deforestation  

4. Unsustainable water management  

5. Increase in population and excess use of natural resources  

6. Urbanization and development of tourism  

7. Famine, poverty and political instability  

8. Climate change

<u>Explanation</u>:

Desertification means lands used for farming are becoming useless for farming and becoming like desert lands.

This desertification may cause due to the changes in climate like low rainfall in those areas.

This may also occur due to the removing of trees in forests that lead to a decrease in rainfall.

In which area would surface water most effectively infiltrate into the local groundwater system?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Infiltration depends greatly on the features of the soil. If the soil has excessive clay or mud, water will not find a way into the groundwater system and will remain as surface water.

An alluvial fan is a perfect location for this since there will be little or no resistance to the flowing water. The streams are already a connection with the groundwater system, and falling water will flow directly to it.
