40. For swell to function properly, it must be drilled below watertable and into a aquifer.
41. Unstable slop start to move when the downslop force exceed the resistance force.
42. Diversion of water from an area will lead to desertification.
43. When one stream capture the flow of other stream is called stream piracy.
44. Climate change could lead to desertification.
45. Compared with humid climate, the rate rate of chemical weathering in desert are much slower.
