Which is not a manifestation of desertification?


a. Declining water tables

b. Unnaturally high soil erosion

c. Salinization of topsoil and water

d. Reduction of surface waters

e. Production of MnO2 and Fe2O3•H2O from anaerobic processes 

Answer

I'll be happy to provide you with environmental studies homework answers. I have experience with environmental studies tutoring:

E. Production of MnO2 and Fe2O3*H2O from anaerobic processes

The reason is that declining water tables (causes dry conditions that prevent plant-growth), high soil erosion (plants require good soil), salinization of topsoil and water (becomes salty and plants will not grow), and reduction of surface waters (again causes dry conditions) are all MAJOR causes and manifestations of desertification.


Only E is not a major cause/manifestation.
