Give examples of the biological effects of an El Niño.
Predictions of hydroclimatic change with global warming suggest that precipitation events are becoming/will become more extreme. In other words, heavy/flooding precipitation events will occur with greater frequency. Explain how the capacity of Earth’s atmosphere to hold water vapor changes as the
atmosphere warms, such that heavier precipitation events could be triggered.
