Explanation / Answer
2. Hydrologic cycle : It is nothing movement of water between Earth and atmosphere
The possible ways in which global climate affect hydrologic cycle are
1.Increased temperature means there is more evaporation from land and sea into atmosphere.
2.As air gets warmer it can hold more water vapor,so more rain storms .This can lead to risk of flooding,whi wh eventually run into rivers and stteams
3.Increased temperature may lead to conditions like drought (lack of rainfall).
It can affect aquifiers by
1.contamination
2.overusage ( no replenishment)
3.severe droughts
3.In my view,I think water should be considered as a shared common like air .Because it is a primary requirement of an individual after air .No one should be charged for it .
4.Water has become more commercialized nowadays.
-It has been facing contamination due to pollution.It should be minimised.
- Over usage shouldn't be encouraged
5. Invasive species are species that are non native to an area which on introduction may cause harm to that area.
Non invasive species are species that are native to an area,on introduction not cause any harm.
