Drought

No water to drink. Crops die. Food shortages.

Sometimes in extreme cases one country starts a war with another over access to water!

A drought is a severe lack of water over a long time.

One key difference between droughts and blizzards is their impact on precipitation. Droughts are characterized by prolonged periods of significantly reduced rainfall, leading to water scarcity and dry conditions, while blizzards involve heavy snowfall combined with strong winds, resulting in dangerous winter weather and reduced visibility. Essentially, droughts signify a lack of moisture, whereas blizzards represent an excess of it in the form of snow.

Drought can cause significant damage to agriculture by reducing crop yields and leading to food shortages, which can drive up prices and impact food security. It also affects water supply, depleting reservoirs and aquifers, which can harm ecosystems and reduce water availability for drinking and sanitation. Additionally, prolonged drought can lead to soil degradation, increased erosion, and loss of biodiversity, ultimately affecting the livelihoods of communities dependent on natural resources. Economic impacts can be severe, particularly in regions heavily reliant on agriculture and tourism.

Drought can lead to soil erosion and land degradation, as lack of water weakens the soil structure. This can contribute to the destabilization of the lithosphere by increasing the risk of landslides and soil erosion. Additionally, prolonged drought can impact groundwater levels and cause land subsidence in certain regions.

It can do. Winds in the atmosphere cause waves. Also the low pressure in the centre of a depression can cause a elevation in sea level called a storm surge.

There is a lack of food and water would survive without food but we cannot survive without water

abiotic factor

turn the conditioner up

They both can kill you because you need them to survive they mostly are naturally found

yeah what are some droughts because I REALLY need to know for my assigment on monday

They don't!

africa

1.donate $ to them

2.send bottle water to them

3.save the water

A prolonged drought affects the states economy and its citizens in a number of ways, firstly look at the question it has 2 parts: states economy- the main concern that the states economy has is that, because farming and aguirculture are adversely affected, ( they cant grow crops to sell or feed there animals ) they do not produce what they would normally produce eg crops for sale or animals for slaughter or breeding ect, this means that the government dose not receive the tax on the sale of these crops or animals.

this of course has a negative effect because the government then cannot spend that money on local infastructure ( hospitals, roads parks schools ect.)

and because the farmers and growers usually hire people to help( contractors- like people who plough there fields or cut there wheat or fix there fences ) and local suppliers ( seed suppliers, tractor sales, farm equipment ect) these business also suffer from a decline in revenue that in turn effects the government (taxes)

the 2nd part - its citizens are affected because all the jobs that i have been describing overtime diminishes as farmers and growers stop spending. this leads to unemployment - another cost to the government through unemployment benefit's ect.

then the social problems that occur with families that don't have the money that they used to have when they had jobs (not been able to pay the mortgage) or other payments they might have to pay( car payments, power bills, kids school fees the list goes on ) can lead to families breaking up and mental health problems and even crime. so there is alot to think about when one event occurs it can have a negative effect for a lot of people and orginizations

droughts cause wide scale damage to almost all wildlife in the effected area. They are all ways at least partially naturally caused, however humans can have large effects on them due to deforestation etc.

hope that helped

The world's longest drought lasted 400 years from 1571 until 1971 in the Atacama Desert of Chile, the driest place on Earth.

In the Western U.S. from about A.D. 800-1300 a series of droughts occurred. The most devastating of these occurred in the mid-11th and 12th Centuries whichlasted for several decades.

Using less water

yes it can

Regularly and at a tremendous cost to the water reserves of the Colorado River watershed.

Step one: Work on your grammar.

Step two: Place a rain barrel outside to collect rain with. Since water cannot go bad, store it in a basement, garage, cellar, etc., and boil and filter it when the time comes to remove anything that may have collected in it.
