Explain the process of desertification. include an example of an event that can cause desertification and describe the changes that occur as desertification takes place. Finally explain the end result of this process.

Desertification is the process in which an environment becomes drier in climate, typically causing plant and animal life to decrease significantly. Some refer to the spreading of a desert climate as desertification as well. Researchers have found that areas around current deserts are becoming desertified, therefore expanding the desert.

Climate change is thought to be the most significant reason why we see desertification occurring. Climate change is pretty much another way to say that weather patterns are changing, which cause rainfall patterns to change significantly and "migrate" to other areas of the globe. Areas that may have once had adequate rain may now not receive much rain at all, causing desertification.
