Question

28. Replace the following with a word or a phrase.

g. condition caused by the absence of rain over a long period of time

Answer 1

• Drought occurs when there is no or little rain over a long period of time.
• In extreme drought conditions, lakes and ponds start drying. Due to this reason, plants and animals cannot survive in these conditions and start dying.

Hence, drought conditions are caused by the absence of rain over a long period of time.
