Question

What effect would a prolonged blocking of the sun by a large dust cloud from a volcano have on the water cycle


The water cycle would slow down due to reduced solar energy, resulting in less precipitation.

Water movement between Earth's surface and the air would remain unaffected.

The water cycle would accelerate due to decreased solar energy.

The water cycle would stop completely, leading to no changes in the environment.

Answer 1

The water cycle would slow down due to reduced solar energy, resulting in less precipitation.
