The Sahara Desert of Africa is considered to be the largest hot desert in the world. However, these days this desert has recently come under the grip of floods due to heavy rains for 2 days. This incident has become a topic of discussion all over the world. Such an incident has been seen after 50 years. Earlier in 1974, there was heavy rain after 6 years of drought. The question is arising in the minds of the people that where did so much water suddenly come from in such a big desert? In such a situation, let's know the answer to this question.
How did the flood come in the Sahara Desert?
Many reasons are being given for the sudden floods in the Sahara Desert. Actually, due to the increase in global temperature and climate change, the weather pattern is changing. Due to this, sudden and heavy rains are also being seen in desert areas. However, it is estimated that active seasonal systems in Africa can also be responsible for such incidents. For example, sudden storms or cyclones during monsoon can create such a situation. Apart from this, there are some parts of the Sahara desert where due to the presence of mountains and valleys, rain water gets collected at one place and a flood situation is created.
The Sahara desert will become green in the next 1500 years
Scientists estimate that the Sahara desert will become green in the next 1500 years. This estimate is also being made because the earth will tilt its axis by 22 to 24.5 degrees during this period. It is worth noting that the name Sahara is derived from the Arabic word Sahra, which means desert.
