You can find them most often in the Sahel Desert in Africa.
Sahara Desert
Deforestation, droughts, desertification and more
The savanna is a grassy plain with scattered trees, while the Sahel is a semiarid region between the Sahara Desert and the savanna. The Sahel is drier than the savanna and experiences more frequent droughts.
Africa is the continent that typically experiences the most frequent and severe droughts due to its varied climate and geographical features, such as the Sahara desert and the Sahel region.
Droughts most often occur in arid and semi-arid regions around the world, such as parts of Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and the southwestern United States. These regions typically receive limited rainfall and experience high evaporation rates, leading to prolonged periods of water scarcity.
It has short wet seasons and long dry seasons. Rainfall decreased. It is very hot so there are droughts.
Some notable droughts include the Sahel drought in Africa in the 1970s and 1980s, the California drought from 2012-2016, and the Australian Millennium drought from 1997-2009. These droughts had significant impacts on agriculture, water resources, and local communities.
The Sahara Desert.
It borders the Sahara.
The Sahel is a region in Africa located just south of the Sahara Desert, stretching across the continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. It includes parts of countries such as Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, Sudan, and Eritrea. The Sahel is known for its semi-arid climate and is susceptible to droughts and desertification.
The Sahara is a vast desert region in North Africa known for its arid climate and sandy landscapes, while the Sahel is a semi-arid transitional zone south of the Sahara that experiences periodic droughts and supports more vegetation. The Sahel acts as a buffer between the Sahara Desert and the more fertile savannas further south.
