خشکسالی
Also known as drouth, droughts
A drought is a period of drier-than-normal conditions. A drought can last for days, months or years. Drought often has large impacts on the ecosystems and agriculture of affected regions, and causes harm to the local economy. Annual dry seasons in the tropics significantly increase the chances of a drought developing, with subsequent increased wildfire risks. Heat waves can significantly worsen drought conditions by increasing evapotranspiration. This dries out forests and other vegetation, and increases the amount of fuel for wildfires.
AI overview
A drought is an extended period of drier-than-normal conditions that can last anywhere from days to years. Droughts matter because they can cause significant damage to ecosystems and agriculture, harm local economies, and increase the risk of wildfires—especially when combined with heat waves that dry out vegetation.
