Read about Africa's two greatest environmental concerns: desertification and the spread of disease. Choose one of these concerns and write a short paragraph about its impact on Africa. What has caused this problem to occur, and how has it impacted people who live there?

Explanation:

Lack of water, and food, being in the vast desert means hard food and little rain this leads to many organisms struggling to live, also being forced to drink dirtier water means you could catch a disease more easily

the wrong statement is - c. a desert had more biodiversity than a marsh.

the deserts are one of the places of the planet where there's the least biodiversity. the reasons for that are the climate and the lack of food sources, which hampers both the number of the species that can survive in it, and the number of the individuals in the species itself.

the marshes, on the other hand, are places where there's perfect conditions for lots of organisms to thrive. the temperature is moderate and nice, the amount of water and the food sources are on a high level, so there's an abundance of both plant and animal life in them.
