Tatum, I need help! I have to prove that human actions can cause drought, for my science homework.
Sure thing, Caroline! Let's start with the question: How can human actions lead to drought?
Well, my research lead me to believe that if human actions affect drought then deforestation increases the shortage of rain.
Good start! This means that your independent variable is the amount of deforestation in an area, and the dependent variable is the amount of rainfall in that time given.
So then that means that when the clouds contain a lot of moisture it rains.
The reason why cutting down trees causes less rain, is because forest trees hold moisture from their roots which then evaporates into the clouds.
Okay, let's keep researching.
Now we need data!
2 universities in the U.K. measured that the Amazon Basin will have a 12% reduction of rainfall, and a 21% decrease in dry seasons.
