B Cracks appearing on the dry ground
D Agriculture field turning into a barren land
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 cause a decrease in the water table, cracks appearing on the ground as well as turning of an agricultural field into a barren land. However, this will not increase the rainfall in the nearby area.
