Plants, animals, fungi, slime moulds, protozoa, and algae are all eukaryotic. 1  These cells are about fifteen times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as a thousand times greater in volume.
A drought is a period of below-average precipitation in a given region, resulting in prolonged shortages in its waters supply, whether atmospheric, surface or ground water.
Drought cannot be defined in terms of inches of rainfall or number of days without rain, since it is determined by such variable factors as the distribution in time and area of precipitation during and before the dry period.
