Chapter 34, Problem 17TYK
Summary Introduction
To predict: How global warming might affect the water cycle.
Introduction: Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases. This increases the atmospheric temperature. The carbon dioxide gas, water vapor, and methane gas act as greenhouse gases that trap heat released by the warmed planet and reflect back to it. This causes warmer atmosphere. Warmer atmosphere has a good potential to hold moisture, which is important for the rainfall.

Ocean acidity has been steadily increasing from 20 million years ago to the present time.
Average ocean pH has fluctuated over the millennia from just over 8.0 to about 8.3.
In the last 20 million years of Earth's history, the average pH has never gone below 8.0.
Ocean acidity has been steadily decreasing from 20 million years ago to the present time.
Look at the following temperature and precipitation graph for a city around the world. Using this information, write down which biome each city has in it. Be careful to read the numbers along The numbers along the Y-axis carefully. For precipitation, you will need to look at figure 2.2, which has annual precipitation numbers in centimeters. Then compare them to the monthly precipitation numbers in the graph, which are in millimeters. It may be helpful to add up The graph numbers and convert that number to centimeters in order to determine the Biome. Average temperatures are also represented on figure 2.2.

- The three images below are snapshots of the atmospheric CO2 concentration in May, July, and September of a year. To interpret the CO2 concentration: blue/green/yellow indicates lower to medium CO2 concentrations and red/maroon/pink indicates medium-high to highest CO2 concentrations.

In other words, heavy/flooding precipitation events will occur with greater frequency.

- Name: Period: Date: The Water Cycle The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, is the movement of water between the ocean, the atmosphere, land, and living things. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Heat energy from the sun drives the water cycle. Main processes of the water cycle are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. Lake 1. The processes involved in the water cycle are labeled with letters A-G in the diagram. Use the words below to identify each process and write it on the lines provided. condensation root uptake percolation evaporation A runoff transpiration precipitation F D A D Farrow_forwardIf hydrologic cycle is a continuous movement of water, why drought and/or flooding occurs?
