explain how desertification leads to reduced rainfall
Answers
Desertification is a form of land degradation by which land becomes more arid. It’s definition is debated, but it generally refers to “the process of fertile land transforming into desert typically as a result of deforestation, drought, or improper/inappropriate agriculture” (Princeton University Dictionary). This process usually results in the desertified land losing its vegetation, water bodies (lakes, streams), and wildlife.

Answer:
Removal of trees and plant life from a particular area for the construction of industries, agriculture and other purposes is termed as Deforestation. Photosynthesis in plant life, takes place by the absorption of CO2 from the earth’s atmosphere. When the plant life is destroyed, the Carbon Dioxide levels in the atmosphere will increase drastically leading trap of heat radiation which causes global warming. This rise in temperature will affect the water cycle. Disturbance in the water cycle will lead to a chain of events and in the end, the rainfall pattern changes and results in droughts.
