1. In the Sahel region of Africa, desertifi cation is a growing problem. The 
process originated in the 1950s, when people and their herds settled in areas where there 
was water. With settlement came overgrazing, which caused the eventual destruction of 
shrubs and other vegetation. This left behind only bare soil that was easily blown away in 
the desert winds or washed away in fl oods. The remaining soil baked hard in the hot sun, 
creating an environment in which plants could not take root. 
2. Desertifi cation can have serious consequences for people living in the affected 
regions. First, it can cause fl ooding, since the hard-packed soil no longer absorbs water, 
and there is no surface vegetation to impede the fl ow of the running water. Moreover, 
desertifi cation results in poor water quality, dust storms, and pollution.
