Question

The long-term result of drought and desertification in sub-Saharan Africa is most likely what?

Answer 1

It is most likely the depletion of arable farm land. The people have overused the soil for farming and the size of the desert continues to grow.

Answer 2

Desertification is result of human activities, such as overgrazing poor cropping patterns etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Desertification is the core problem that Sub Saharan Africa is currently facing as it puts Africa at a much greater risk of food security, physical infrastructure an natural resources and damages national security.

• As the process of desertification leas to land being degraded, acidification and the underlying cause are changing weather patterns, changing build-up areas and continuous overgrazing by animals.

• Long term impact of these desertic conditions will lead to the soil and landscape being blow away by wind and running water also since most of this region is agro-based it desertification in rural areas leads to poverty. Sample can be seen in Uganda as a result of overgrazing land became dry and unstable.

• At least 50 million people will migrate from this region in the year 2020, as dry land covers about 65% of the African continent.
