Global warming is adding heat to the oceans and the atmosphere. This extra heat is energy, which adds power to the winds. If the normal wind patterns change, then rain-bearing clouds may travel to different places, changing the amount of rainfall an area receives.

Some things the earth is facing with global warming?
Changes in the weather. Increased sealevels, A change in the locations of diseases that now dont exist in cooler climates. Changes in rainfall,
What are the short periods of climate change caused by changes in the amount of solar radiation an area receives?
Seasons :)
How might global warming affect global precipitation?
In the northern latitudes snow will become rain. Rainfall patterns will change. We are already seeing floods and tornados in some countries on a much larger scale than usual.
Why should the amount of carbon in the atmosphere today be reduced?
The present levels of carbon dioxide dioxide in the atmosphere are causing global warming and climate change.
Why did terminology change from global warming to climate change?
Global warming is happening and this warming is causing climate change. We still talk about global warming, but by using the term climate change we can deal with the practical effects of the warming.Basically our world's weather patterns are very complex, so when the climate warms in one place it may actually change weather patterns and create a slight cooling somewhere else. In addition, there may be some places where the temperature changes very little but the pattern of weather - amount of rain or snow for example - does change. So while the overall effect of what is happening is that the average temperature of the globe is warming, some individual places may actually cool, and others will just experience changes in weather. Thus "climate change" sums things up better than "global warming".
How does global warming affect the lithosphere?
Global Warming will effect climate change in the Atmosphere. Increased rainfall will increase erosion in the Lithosphere.
Effects of global warming on the Caribbean?
More recent hurricanes Warmer day change in rainfall patterns
How does global warming affect grassland?
Global warming is causing climate change, and this could be anything. Grasslands could dry up from changing rainfall patterns, or from extra heat, or they might do well with extra rainfall. They might end up under water from rising sea levels. It's very difficult to predict.
How does global warming affect rainfall pattern globally?
It's too early to know. There are various unusual rainfall happenings going on around the world, floods in Australia, floods in Thailand etc. These might be caused by global warming, but they might just be unusual rainfall. Climate change takes time to be measured, after at least ten or twenty years, perhaps more. Weather changes every day.
What is the average rainfall in France per month?

How do canyons mountains and cliffs usually change after the amount of the rainfall dramatically increases?
When rainfall increases erosion increases, wearing away the mountains and cliffs and filling in the canyons with the products of erosion.
What will a change of amount of water vapor in the atmosphere cause?
Global Warming. Water Vapour is considered a greenhouse gas.
What is A warming change in the weather patterns called due to change in the ozone layer?
A warming change in weather patterns is GLOBAL WARMING. It can be caused by ozone depletion.
Is global warming a cause or a effect of climate change?
Global warming is the cause of climate change.Climate change is the result of global warming.
