Solution

  • Drought is a period of time when an area or region experiences rainfall below normal level.
  • When there is little to no rainfall in an area over a long period of time, the soil loses its moisture content.
  • This eventually leads to the soil becoming barren and unfit for agriculture which leads to poor yield of crops and hence, results in food scarcity.
