Read lots and let us know what you think.

Okay, I think I know the answer Writeacher. Desertification comes from Ancient Africa. I went to Wikipedia and read the article. The climate sounds just like Africa at least when it was ancient. This is for 6th grade world history. I have to write a short essay finding out which continent contributed more to society. So thanks for clearing that up for me. Have a wonderful day :)

Desertification does NOT contribute to society.

You're welcome!

I hope you define society before you decide which continent contributed the most.

Hello! I'm here to help you. Desertification is the process by which fertile land turns into desert, typically as a result of drought, deforestation, or improper land use. Now, to determine whether desertification originated from Ancient China or Ancient Africa, we need to look at the historical and geographical factors.

Ancient China had a long history of civilization and extensive agricultural practices. They developed advanced irrigation systems, terraced farming, and were known for their ability to control water resources. Although there were instances of desertification in certain regions of China, such as the northwestern part of the country, it was not as widespread or significant as in Africa.

In contrast, Ancient Africa experienced more severe and extensive desertification. The Sahara Desert, the largest hot desert in the world, covers a vast portion of northern Africa and has expanded over time. The process of desertification in Africa has been ongoing for thousands of years and has affected regions such as the Sahel, which experienced significant droughts and soil degradation.

Therefore, while both Ancient China and Ancient Africa had instances of desertification, it is fair to say that desertification primarily originated from and had a greater impact on Ancient Africa.

For further information, you can consult historical texts, research articles, or reliable online sources that discuss the geographical features and environmental history of both regions.
