people and animals in the sahara have adapted to live in the desert by using very little water. (1 point)
○ true
○ false

Explanation:

First Question:

To determine why living in the Sahel is easier than in the Sahara, we analyze each option:

• "It is less fertile" is incorrect because less fertile land would make living harder.
• "It has more forests" is incorrect as the Sahel is a semi - arid region with sparse vegetation, not a forested area.
• "It has a warmer climate" is incorrect as the Sahara is already extremely warm, and a warmer climate would not make living easier.
• "It has more access to water" is correct. The Sahel, being a transition zone between the Sahara and savanna, has more water sources (like seasonal rivers, oases with more reliable water, etc.) compared to the extremely arid Sahara, which has very limited water.

People and animals in the Sahara have adapted to the desert environment. Desert - adapted species (both human and animal) have physiological and behavioral adaptations to survive with very little water. For example, camels can store water and go long periods without drinking, and human groups like the Tuareg have traditional practices to conserve water. So the statement is true.

Answer:

D. It has more access to water.
