Drawing A Water Cycle Diagram
When looking at a water cycle diagram, I usually start with the mountains, work my way down to the oceans, and head up to the clouds. Mountains, after all, are one of the most important steps in the water cycle diagram, and one of the ones most affected by global warming. You see, mountain glaciers are usually reservoirs of water. In the winter, increased snowfall adds to their supply. In the summer, melting causes a seasonal flood. In my water cycle diagrams, I am sure to note how this can be changed by excessive global warming. When all the water on top of the mountains has melted, there will be no seasonal flood, which will cause widespread drought.
