Question

The condition shown in the below image is called drought.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Drought is a continuous period of dry weather, when an area gets less than its normal amount of rain, over months or even years. This leads to severe problems. The most critical problem is the reduction of groundwater level and drying up of lands.

Water content in the soil also serves as the indication of drought. In the image, from the cracks and lack of any vegetation, we can conclude that this region is affected by drought.
