Answer 1

In North Africa, overgrazing has significantly contributed to **desertification**. This process involves the degradation of land in arid and semi-arid areas, often resulting in the loss of soil fertility and vegetation, which can lead to the expansion of desert areas. Overgrazing accelerates this by removing vegetation cover that protects the soil and maintains moisture.
