Yes. A warmer atmosphere takes more water as evaporation out of oceans and other water bodies, as well as from land and vegetation. This has two effects.
- Lands become drier and less able to grow crops.
- Heavier rain, driven by stronger winds, often cause flooding in other places.

∙ 12y agoWater vapour is a greenhouse gas, so it contributes to global warming. However, the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere depends on the existing temperature, being higher when the temperature is already higher and lower when the temperature is already lower, so is regarded as a greenhouse enhancer. When other greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, increase the average global temperature, water vapour will enhance that effect, increasing the temperature a little further.
Water vapour is effective as a greenhouse gas at specific infrared frequencies, so that heat continues to be lost freely at other frequencies, but may be blocked by carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases. The effect on temperature of different greenhouse gases cannot be assumed to be simply additive.

How Does Climate Change Affect The Water Cycle?
Warming increases the speed of the cycle by increasing the rate of evaporation.
Does the water cycle depend on evaporation?
Yes water cycle depends on evaporation. It is the first step of water cycle.
How does evaporation impact the water cycle?
Evaporation impacts the water cycle by changing liquid water into water vapor.
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
Example of the water cycle?
condensation, evaporation, precipitation, etc(:
How does the warming of the ocean affect the water cycle?
it increases the evaporation water.
How does heat affect the water cycle?
its causes evaporation
How does temperature affect water cycle?
temperature affects the water cycle because the hotter the more evaporation will happen but the colder the less evaporation will happen.
How does evaporation and condensation affect the water cycle?
Evaporation form clouds and condensed water from clouds forms rains.
How does the energy from the sun affect earth's water cycle?
Energy from sun supports evaporation. It is 1st step of water cycle.
How does an increase in sea surface temperature affect the water cycle?
A. It increases the evaporation of water. (APEX)
Is water cycle the same as evaporation?
No, Evaporation is a step in the water cycle.
How Does Climate Change Affect The Water Cycle?
Warming increases the speed of the cycle by increasing the rate of evaporation.
Does the water cycle depend on evaporation?
Yes water cycle depends on evaporation. It is the first step of water cycle.
Were does water evaporation occure in the cycle?
Evaporation can be considered as the first step in the water cycle.
How does evaporation impact the water cycle?
Evaporation impacts the water cycle by changing liquid water into water vapor.
How are evaporation precipitation and transpiration related to the water cycle?
Only evaporation and precipitation are steps in the water cycle.
