WEEK 6 – The water cycle – EXTREME WEATHER
- What could be some factors caused by extreme weather?
Most factors are caused by global warming, things like: Glaciers, heatwaves, hot weather, hurricanes and cyclones. Glaciers can fall off cliffs and can easily melt in the hot weather! The sea levels are rising because of this… and that’s when floods come in! Heatwaves can lead the water to evaporation and it takes up a LOT of water from the ocean/sea/river/lake!! This can lead to drought, leaving not a lot of water for us left. heatwaves can start forest fires too if it gets too hot then it could also lit the whole forest.
2. Could you relate it to the water cycle?
Glaciers fall off the cliffs and melt because of the hot weather and the water rises! And heatwaves can make the water evaporate, then, the clouds start raining and it starts all over again! All of this is caused by the factors of global warming.
