<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.

What is the importance of the atmosphere for man​
Gnom [1K]
The atmosphere is important for many reasons. Before we talk about why it is important we should define what the atmosphere is. The atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds a planet. Earth has an atmosphere that is just right for humans, animals, and plants to live in. The gases in the atmosphere act like a blanket keeping our planet warm plus the atmosphere contains oxygen something we (humans and animals) all need to breathe.

Many planets in our solar system have a atmosphere. Venus for example has such a thick atmosphere most of the sun's energy gets trapped making the surface of Venus 864 degrees Fahrenheit! That is hotter than an oven! Mars also has an atmosphere but it is too thin making the surface of Mars -80 degrees Fahrenheit! Plus the atmospheres of Venus and Mars do not contain the oxygen we all need to breathe.

Our atmosphere allows just enough of the sun's energy back into space so that we do not get to hot like Venus or too cold like Mars. If Earth had no atmosphere, apart from having no air to breathe, the surface of the Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

These are just two of the reasons why are atmosphere is important. The atmosphere contains the warmth we all need to survive, the oxygen we all breathe, and carries the rain we all need. Without our atmosphere life as we know it would cease to exist.

What would happen if there was no more van Allen belts?
defon

Answer:

Actually the radiation belts are a negative side effect of the earths magnetic field as well as the Suns magnetic field. As cosmic particles collide with particles in the atmosphere they decay into energetic protons while the outer belt is mostly electrons made in geomagnetic storms.

if it didn't exist we could launch more satellites or have larger space stations without the worry of perpetual radiation exposure as for earth there would be no negative consequences to the loss of the energy.

How do funnel clouds form ?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

i think A

Explanation:

Funnel clouds are caused by vertical stretching of vorticity. Vorticity can be thought of as "spin" in the atmosphere, which is usually produced by wind shear. As this vorticity is streched vertically the area of rotation shrinks and the spinning air speeds up.
