What primary effect is global warming having on the velocity of the water cycle?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increased evaporation rates are intensifying extreme flood and drought events

Answer: B, increased evaporation rates are intensifying extreme floods and droughts. The water cycle includes evaporation, condensation, cloud formation, precipitation, runoff, infiltration, and storage. When global temperature rises, warmer air and surfaces generally provide more energy for evaporation. Warmer air can also hold more water vapour, so moisture may accumulate and later fall as very heavy rain. At other times, rapid evaporation and irregular rainfall can leave soil and water sources dry, increasing drought risk. A is wrong because the whole cycle is not simply slowing. C is wrong because rainfall has not stopped everywhere. D is wrong because warming generally contributes to glacier melting, not permanent expansion. Memory cue: warmer conditions can mean a faster, more uneven water cycle—more intense rain in some places and more drying in others.
