DROUGHT-REASEARCH QUESTIONS

Research
Questions



1. How does the natural disaster effect the environment?


A drought can really effect the environment by killing almost all the plants. This means that the herbivores will have nothing to eat. If all the plants die the herbivores will die too. If the herbivores die out then the carnivores wont be able to eat them, and if they have nothing to eat they will die. If the animals, plants and water run out and die then we won’t have anything to eat or drink and we will die.

2. How does it occur?

A drought occurs when it is sustained with no water. A lack of rain can also cause a drought to happen. Nothing can stop an on coming drought except for rain.

3. How do people respond to this disaster?

After a drought people respond in many ways like they are thinking to make a big machine that takes water out of the ocean and takes the salt out. Some people are also thinking about a big machine that takes our waste, cleaning it then use it.

4.identifing

People suffer from drought because it is so hot at that Crops, fruit, veggies and flowers will die because it is so hot, which makes prices go up for food and flowers because they don’t make much money with a few because of that when people pay money they will lose a lot and will get much food for their family.


5. Affecting people and responding
Drought in Australia has occurred in 1982-1983,1991-1995 and 2002-2006. All of these droughts occurred by low rainfall, for a long period of time. As well as that all had been given money more than a billion dollars. All went dry in the drought. People asked the government to raise money by putting on partys, concerts and many more things.
