Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -It is essential to recognise that desertification is essentially a man-made phenomenon which is exacerbated by climate change. This is because an increase in weather extremes such as droughts and heavy rains as a result of climate change will lead to further land degradation.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Great Plains have a continental climate. Much of the plains experience cold winters and warm summers, with low precipitation and humidity, much wind, and sudden changes in temperature. More rainfall occurs in summer than in winter, except in some of the northwestern parts of the Great Plains.
