Drought and desertification are closely related phenomena. Persisting over months or years, drought can affect large areas and may have serious environmental, social and economic impacts. While drought is a natural phenomenon, whose impacts can be exacerbated by human activities that are not adapted to the local climate, land degradation is the process of turning fertile land into less or non-productive land. In extreme cases in drylands this is called desertification. Land degradation and desertification are complex phenomena driven by un-adapted human activity in combination with land and climatic constraints. Inappropriate land use, such as monocultures, and unsustainable land management practices, such as deforestation, unsuitable agricultural practices and overexploitation of water resources), can cause land degradation that can be further aggravated by drought.
The correct answer is true

Answer:
Coriolis effect
Explanation:
The Coriolis effect is an apparent force, corresponding to the earth's surface, which makes deflection of any moving object (air masses) to the right in Northern Hemisphere and to the left in Southern Hemisphere because of the earth's rotation. The Coriolis effect is a primary cause of various large scale weather patterns e.g. Coriolis effect is responsible for cyclones and trade winds.
The weather effecting fast moving objects e.g planes, missiles,rockets is affected by the Coriolis effect. Coriolis effect determines the direction of winds. A plane that flies along a path (north-south) should not fly directly towards the target location but it should fly either a little right or left of it to get to the target location.
The Coriolis effect also have an impact on ocean patterns. The winds power the seas. There are very similar patterns of ocean and atmospheric circulation. The effect is that ocean flows in their basins in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
