Answer :
Answer:plants dying
Explanation: plants need water to survive.
One negative effect that decrease in precipitation will have on the area is that;
The soil will become impermeable because it will be very dry thereby making rain water not to penetrate but instead runoff the surface which will make the topsoil to erode.
- We are told that the area is currently receiving far less precipitation than in previous times. This means it is receiving far lesser rainfall over a period of time that before.
- This means that prior to the current decrease in precipitation, the soil has been used to absorbing water from the rainfalls and we can say the soils were permeable as they were retaining/absorbing the precipitation.
- However, as the rainfall has reduced drastically, it means the bottom soil will lack precipitation thereby making it very dry. This means it will become hard and impermeable and as a result the little rain that falls will be only retained on the top soil and will cause the top soil to erode.
