<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.

1. _____ rocks show different minerals or grains that have been segregated into layers or aligned nonrandomly.
cluponka [151]
<span>Foliated rocks show different minerals or grains that have been segregated into layers or aligned nonrandomly. Quartzite is an example of a nonfoliated metaphoric rock. The main factor that changes rocks during contact metamorphism is both heat and pressure, but if had to choose one I would select pressure. When shale undergoes metamorphism it becomes slate!</span>

romanna [79]

Answer:

The correct Answer is A) Tropical Cyclones  

Explanation:

Tropical cyclones, hurricanes or typhoons form when convection causes warm, moist air above the ocean to rise. They begin as a group of storms when the water gets as hot as 80 °F (27 °C) or hotter. <em>The Coriolis effect</em> made by the Earth's rotation causes the winds to rotate.

The Coriolis effect refers to how a moving object seems to tilt toward the right in the Northern hemisphere and left in the Southern hemisphere. An example of the Coriolis effect is hurricane winds turning left in the Northern hemisphere.

Tropical cyclones can be found in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean, and sometimes in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
