How do droughts affect the western United States differently than the Sahel region in Africa?

Drought in the western United States can dry out forests and other vegetation, increasing the risk of severe wildfires. In the Sahel, drought is more commonly associated with crop losses, water shortages, and land degradation. The western U.S. does experience climate change, but the Sahel is also affected by a changing climate, so choice B does not describe the difference.
