Explain the difference between deforestation, desertification, and damming.

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Deforestation is the clearing of trees from land desired for the development of society. Desertification is the changing of arable or habitable land into a desert due to intense climate change or destructive land use, such as that which occurs with certain agriculture methods. Damming is placing a man-made barrier in the way of the flow of a natural waterway to control its movement and uses.
