ABSTRACT Droughts are major natural disasters for many parts of the world. Dry areas, where the precipitation pattern is markedly seasonal, or is otherwise highly variable, are the.
The most dangerous effects of drought with respect to biodiversity are as follows: domestic fauna and wildlife, with those who are kept in very bad conditions;migratory birds from increasingly endangered habitats to remnant wetlands;flora, especially where some species are endangered;another environmental impact of drought is that some waterways, which were previously permanent, but lately have become intermittent.
Then, which natural disaster has caused the most deaths?
On average, the annual number of wildfires has not changed much;on average, the total acres burned has increased from the 1980s and 1990s into the 21st century;the combination of these two factors suggest that the average acres burned per wildfire has increased.
Is drought man-made or due to natural causes?
Drought is a natural disaster due to manmade causes that has to be dealt with globally. Proper measures should be implemented by the government to check misuse of water available. The water resources should be properly used without wastage.
Another popular query is “What constitutes a drought and why it matters?”.
Some articles claimed weather and Climate. If you look outside right now, do you see sunshine, or mostly clouds? Water covers more than 80 percent of the earth’s surface. Water and Weather on the Move. Water evaporating from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams moves to the atmosphere. Causes of drought, drought has many causes, and drought and floods are a couple additional items to investigate.
This begs the question “How does drought affect our lives?”
Who lives in the community, because some people are more affected by drought than others based on things like health conditions and age. What kind of water system the community has. What rules the community has about water use. Other economic and social factors.
What is a drought and what causes it?
Because drought is defined as a deficit in water supply, it can be caused by a number of factors. The most important one though relates to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere as this is what creates precipitation. More rain, sleet, hail, and snow can occur where there are moist, low-pressure air systems.
