When you use it
Use this when a question asks how desertification differs from land degradation or what causes desertification.
Watch out
Desertification is land degradation only in dry, arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas. Land degradation can also occur in wetter areas. Its causes are mainly human, although deserts also occur naturally next to cold ocean currents and in continental interiors.

When you use it
Use this when a question asks you to tell family and household apart or to describe household types.
Watch out
A family is bound by blood, kinship or marriage, so it cannot contain more than one household. A household is people who share food and shelter, and it may include unrelated people or consist only of unrelated people. Do not write that every household is a family.

| Drought type | Meaning in this chapter |
|---|---|
| Meteorological | An extended shortfall of rainfall |
| Hydrological | Below-normal water flow in lakes, streams and underground sources |
| Agricultural | A deficit of moisture in the topsoil, which affects crop growth |
| Environmental | The three types above combined |
| Socioeconomic | An imbalance between supply and demand of goods such as water, fodder, food crops, fish and energy |
When you use it
Use this when a question asks you to name the types of drought or to say what each type measures.
Watch out
The types are not five rival causes. The first three combine to form environmental drought, and socioeconomic drought is the imbalance between supply and demand that links to them.
