What can cause a drought? Droughts are caused by a lack of precipitation, but human activities like deforestation and climate change worsen natural causes. Natural factors include low rainfall, insufficient snowpack, and changes in atmospheric conditions like the jet stream and ocean temperatures. Human activities that increase drought risk are deforestation, intensive agriculture, and excessive water use, especially when combined with rising global temperatures.
