What effect is global warming having on the water cycle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Evaporation is increasing, leading to extreme weather events

Direct answer: B. Global warming raises average temperatures, and warmer air and surfaces generally increase evaporation and the amount of water vapour that the atmosphere can hold. This can intensify parts of the water cycle. More available moisture may contribute to heavier rainfall and flooding in some regions, while altered circulation, earlier snow or ice melt, and drying of soils can increase drought risk in others. The exact effect differs by place and season, so the statement does not mean every area always becomes wetter. A is not the best answer because warming generally strengthens or speeds several water-cycle processes. C is false: rainfall has not stopped everywhere. D is opposite to the broad warming trend; glaciers generally lose mass, although individual short-term changes can vary. Cue: warming adds energy to evaporation, but rainfall distribution becomes less predictable.
