Hotter oceans and a hotter atmosphere lead to stronger evaporation, causing rainclouds and rainfall. Hotter land and a hotter atmosphere also lead to | |||
stronger evaporation, this time causing the ground to dry out. | |||

* [[En-en adult card 18 melting of sea ice|Melting | * [[En-en adult card 18 melting of sea ice|Melting Sea Ice]] The melting of the Arctic ice pack, but also the melting of Greenland's glaciers may lead, in the distant future, to a disruption of the thermohaline circulation (which gives rise to the Gulf Stream). But the "Water Cycle" card does not refer at all to thermohaline circulation. | ||
