Question 21 • White's Environmental Science March 2 - 20_Section2

What is a drought?

Answer
A
a warm season brought on by Earth tilting toward the Sun
B
an extended period of time with little to no snow or rainfall
C
a large wave usually caused by an undersea earthquake
D
a cool season brought on by Earth tilting away from the Sun

Explanation

A drought is an extended period with little or no precipitation, such as rain or snow. This lack of water can dry out soil and reduce water supplies, so choice B, “an extended period of time with little to no snow or rainfall,” is correct. Choices A and D describe seasons, and choice C describes a tsunami.
