What will most likely cause erosion during a drought?
Lack of vegetation to hold soil in place, reduced soil moisture making it more vulnerable to movement, and increased wind and water intensity due to dry conditions leading to erosion during a drought.
What is a prolonged period of greatly reduced precipitation called?
DroughtThe most common use of the term "drought" refers to meteorological drought, because that is the drought condition most familiar to the general public and the one most easily identified.
Where does a drought come from?
A drought occurs when there is a prolonged period of below-average precipitation, leading to a shortage of water resources. Factors such as climate variability, deforestation, and human activities can contribute to the onset and severity of droughts.
Under which condition would a lowering of the water table most likely occur?
A lowering of the water table is most likely to occur during a period of prolonged drought or increased groundwater extraction. These conditions lead to decreased recharge of the aquifer and increased pumping, causing the water table to drop.
Does a drought mean little rain or lots of rain?
A drought typically means little or significantly below-average rainfall for an extended period of time, leading to dry conditions and water scarcity.
