  1. Global warming is effecting the water cycle.

    The water cycle is driven by the sun evaporating the water on the surface of the earth.  It rises and cools, it then precipitates.  As the surface of the earth becomes hotter, more water is evaporating quicker than before.  As well, the more dense and high collections of clouds aren't appearing as often.  This is creating  an effect where the majority of rain happens on coasts and less is reaching the inlands of islands and continents.


  2. 1. Overconsumption of fresh water abrupts the normal pattern of water cycle.

    2. Water pollution can also disrupt the cycle, for trashes clog the normal flow of rivers back to the ocean.

    3. Deforestation: because there are no more trees that would absorb rainwater, does they already flow straight to the river

    4. Transformation of forests to agricultural areas: same reason as to number 3
