Which desert expands 1 km per hour?
The Sahara is rapidly expanding due to desertification.
How much is the Sahara desert growing each year?
Yes: this process is called "desertification". The Sahara Desert is encroaching south upon the Sahel. The catalyst to this was the drought which occurred in Africa from 1968 to 1973, and the Sahel continues to be drought-prone, which in turn increases desertification. The Sahara desert is estimated to be growing at a rate of 0.6 km every year.
Did overgrazing create the Sahara?
No, overgrazing did not create the Sahara Desert. The Sahara Desert was formed as a result of shifts in the Earth's climate and tectonic plates over millions of years. Human activities like overgrazing and deforestation can exacerbate desertification, but they were not the primary cause of the Sahara.
