Drought's+Causes+(+Before)



Before a drought occurs there are lots and lots of water usually depending on where you are. All the plants that live there fill up there roots with as much water they can absorb. The reason they do this is because they might be used to having droughts so they want to save the water so they will not die because of the drought. Many plants do this and some of them may save it in their leaves. An example of a plant that absorbs water and saves it in its leaves would be the cactus. Even though in the desert weather is very harsh and not much rain comes to leave much water a cactus adapts to this extreme weather and gets its water fast when there is any. Before a drought occurs it is like heaven to many animals because many droughts actually kill animals and also is a very dangerous because it can increase of having a fire hazard .Many farmers make little tanks so that when water comes or rain falls they can fill the tanks full of water, so that if there was a drought they could water their crops, but usually farmers do not pick a place that has a high percentage of droughts as a place to grow crops.

The causes are that when an area of land doesn’t have the average precipitation a drought occurs. Also a lot of different things will happen. Like, plants and animals will try to absorb as much water as they can. They do this because in their body they don’t have enough water. Also maybe because they can sense that a drought is coming. Also when farmers can tell there is a drought coming they try to grow and get as much crops and other food before the drought occurs. 1179795280 Ryan Donckels- period 3

What causes a drought is a lack of rain for a period of time.When this happens the water gets dried up and its super hot.When that happens plants die.If the plants die the animals die.And if the animals die we die.1181147634 Raymond Poor period.1 A droght can be very deadly for some animals. Some other animals have a way of getting away from it. Some animals don't know how to get away. It can be very bad for off springs too. Some times a drought can be very deadly that it can even start a wild fire. Many animals die. Shellyflores

= = A drought occurs when there no rain for a long period of time. Before a drougth happens, there are alot of vegitation and a lot of health. In a drougth plants do not grow properly and the water supply to homes are limeted. As streams and rivers dry up, plants and animals die. In areas where trees have been but down, hot winds blow away the topsoil. Because farm crops and animals die due to low water supply, there is less food for people to eat, and what food there costs more, If a drought lasts a long time, people may also die of starvation adn the land may become a desert. 1181620949SharleneCh.-Period 3
