Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Desertification is a land degradation process that occurs in drylands. It affects the land’s capacity to supply ecosystem services, such as producing food or hosting biodiversity, to mention the most well known ones. Its drivers are related to both human activity and the climate, and depend on the specific context.
Detailed explanation-2: -Drought and its impacts can be exacerbated by human activities that are not adapted to the local climate and/or soil type. Land degradation is the process of turning fertile land into less or non-productive land. In extreme cases, in drylands, this is called desertification.
