Glaciers and snow melt into liquid water because of the sun’s heat.
Oceans, lakes, and streams get full of this water. This water also goes into
the soil. It provides water for plants and groundwater for drinking. New
snowfall replaces the water that has melted. Global warming, however,
affects this process. Most glaciers are losing more ice than can be
replaced because of Earth’s warming. Warmer temperatures also cause
more water to evaporate. This directly affects the amount of water vapor
in the atmosphere, cloud formation, and rainfall patterns.
