points)
 There are deserts all over the world. They can be found in Africa, China, South America and North America. In some 
places, deserts are growing. This is a serious problem because deserts destroy farmland and ruin land where animals live. 
When people cannot grow food or find animals to eat, they have to leave their homes.
 Sometimes, nature can cause deserts to spread. Wind can move sand away from deserts and onto useful land. When 
there is no rain for a long time, plants die and deserts grow. However, humans can also cause deserts to grow. This is 
called desertification, and it happens in many ways. One way is when people cause too much air pollution, which can 
make an area hotter. Hotter weather can reduce the amount of rain as well. Too many people in one area can also damage 
the land. In addition, having many animals can harm the land. When large animals like cows walk on soil too much, they 
turn it into dust. The wind easily blows this dust away. Trees help hold water in the ground. When people cut down too 
many trees, less water stays in the ground, and the soil is ruined. All of these things can speed up desertification. To stop 
deserts from growing, people must think of ways to treat the land better.
