The hydrological cycle is expected to accelerate as temperatures rise and the capacity of the air to carry moisture increases. Observational evidence for such acceleration is largely based on ...

Use knowledge of the hydrological cycle to explain specific flood events, with reference to maps and hydrographs.

Rising temperatures stoked by global warming are increasing the odds of both severe drought and heavier precipitation.

Use the key terms featured in a river basin case study. Consider the effect of seasonal differences in rainfall and relate this to changes in river levels and risk of flooding. Students could ...

Water constantly moves between the Earth and its atmosphere. But that system — called the hydrological cycle — is speeding up as global temperatures get hotter, primarily due to the burning of ...

To restore thermal equilibrium, rainfall occurs. Global warming also has other impacts on the hydrological cycle. When sea temperatures exceed 27 °C, evaporation increases exponentially. Much of this ...

Water constantly moves between the Earth and its atmosphere. But that system — called the hydrological cycle — is speeding up as global temperatures get hotter, primarily due to the burning of ...

Study warns of accelerated water cycle in Western Ghats due to climate change, urging region-specific adaptation strategies.
