how have deserts been changing in recent years?
choose one option
a they are shrinking and have almost disappeared.
b they are growing quickly.
c they are becoming wetter and cooler.
d they have not changed recently.

Explanation:

Due to factors like climate change (rising temperatures, reduced precipitation in some areas) and human activities (deforestation, over - grazing, improper agricultural practices), deserts are expanding. For example, desertification processes are accelerating in many regions. Shrinking deserts (Option A) is not a common trend as the overall arid and semi - arid regions are increasing. Deserts are generally becoming drier and warmer rather than wetter and cooler (Option C is incorrect). And deserts are constantly changing due to natural and human - induced factors, so they have not remained unchanged (Option D is wrong).

Answer:

B. They are growing quickly.
