One big way: climate change is intensifying the water cycle. Warmer air holds more moisture (about 7% more water vapor per °C), so higher temperatures increase evaporation from oceans, lakes, and soils and make storms produce heavier rainfall. That leads to more extreme flooding in some places and worse droughts in others, plus shifts in seasonal runoff and water supplies for ecosystems and people.
What’s one other current event you think is changing the water cycle (e.g., wildfires, urban growth, deforestation)?
