aridification
This is a highly formal, technical term used primarily in climatology, geology, and environmental science. It describes a long-term trend of decreasing precipitation or increasing evaporation that makes a region drier over time. It is rarely used in casual conversation, where speakers would instead say a place is "drying out" or "becoming a desert."
It is often confused with "desertification," but there is a subtle scientific distinction. Aridification refers to the general process of a climate becoming more arid (dry), whereas desertification specifically refers to the degradation of land in arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid areas, often caused by human activities like overgrazing or deforestation. Aridification is more about the climate shift, while desertification is about the land's loss of productivity.
Because it describes a process, it is frequently paired with adjectives that indicate speed or scale, such as "rapid," "gradual," "accelerated," or "widespread."
