Africa Desertification SS7G2

The Sahel is one part of Africa that is experiencing severe problems with Desertification, the process of the desert expanding into areas that had formerly been farmland. As land is overused, the soil becomes poor and powdery. The winds coming from the Sahara gradually blow the dry topsoil away, leaving a barren and rocky land that loses it ability to hold water.

Cause: Some areas of Africa are to hot
Effect: Africa is in danger of lots more desert land
