Analysis of the causes and the consequence of droughts and desertification​

Geography
1 answer:
Ulleksa [173]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

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.

What are ways in which a geologist may determine the density of earth materials?
Damm [24]

Geologist may determine the density of earth materials by measuring the mass of the object and its volume.

<h3>What is density ?</h3>

The mass of a substance per unit of volume is its density. Density is most frequently represented by the symbol, however Latin letter D may also be used. The formula for density is mass divided by volume

Earth's density is around 5.513 g/cm3 if you average the density throughout the entire globe. However, if you compare the density of the Earth by its layers, you'll notice that it rises continuously from the crust to the core.
