Desertification - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Drought
      - Climate change (less rainfall, higher temps)
      - Soil erosion by wind and water
  - - - Overgrazing → animals eat grass too fast
      - Overcultivation → soil nutrients exhausted
      - Deforestation → no roots to hold soil
      - Poor irrigation → salinisation
      - Population growth → more demand for food, fuel, land
- - - - Causes: overgrazing, deforestation, poor farming
      - Consequences: sandstorms, migration
      - Solutions: Great Green Wall, grazing limits
  - - - Causes: rivers diverted for cotton → Aral Sea dried
      - Consequences: toxic dust, fishing collapse, health issues
      - Solutions: dams in north, international awareness
