As the global population has grown all over the world, the need for food, shelter, clothing, and other resources has also gone up. As a result, the level of extraction of natural resources for the mentioned purposes has also gone up. Modern technologies, factories, power plants, agricultural practices, and transportation facilities have developed a lot and contributed to the different forms of pollution or pollution of all the different spheres of the natural environment like the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and the lithosphere. As a result, these have had significant environmental impacts.
Impact on Precipitation
Due to climate change, there has been a change in the trend of monsoons in many countries around the world. In recent years, the irregularities have only gone up resulting in unexpected unseasonal rains in different places, changes in the consistency and volume of rain in the monsoons. A classic example can be given to the recent storms experienced in the eastern parts of India and the adjoining areas of Bangladesh are facing due to the formation of low-pressure zones in the Bay of Bengal in recent years. Other than climate change, the loss of forest cover is also contributing to the change in the pattern of precipitation in many states. If trees are cut down, the areas are most likely to be turned into deserts in the future and that will dry up the nearby water bodies and receive much less rainfall in the coming monsoons. Over a longer time, the process will only keep on adding up and the area will completely dry up if left unchecked.
When larger water bodies like the seas and oceans absorb more volumes of nitrogen and other gases, it heats up and alters the rate of evaporation in that area. When harmful compounds like Sulphur di-oxide and nitrogen oxide are mixed in the open atmosphere, acid rain is created and this type of rainfall/precipitation is harmful to the environment.
Impact on Condensation
As the atmosphere gets warmer due to climate change, the clouds get warmer too. Warmer clouds are capable of storing more quantities of water and thus the process of condensation which is the conversion of water vapour into water slows down. Thus, warmer places start to receive less and less rainfall with time as water is now stored in the clouds for longer periods because they are warmer than before.
Impact on Evaporation
The global rise in temperature due to climate change is causing the global water cycle and to be more specific, water cycles of specific areas more than others to fasten up. This is resulting in causing an increased rate of evaporation and as a result of that, more water vapour is going up and more precipitation is experienced in that region. The higher the rate of evaporation, the higher the rate of precipitation will be. Although the rate is different in different places, the ones with heavier rainfalls are experiencing floods and excessive rainfall that can damage houses and crops in the fields.
Conclusion
It is very important to take proper care of the environment. The things that are causing damage and pollution to both the continents and ocean waters are contributing to the destruction of the natural ecosystems. As a result of the destruction of natural ecosystems, many plants and animal species are becoming endangered or even extinct. The balance of nature and the natural food chains of the ecosystems are getting distorted which are directly and indirectly causing greater damage to the planet and destroying all living beings. We must look after the environment and adopt an eco-friendly approach to get our daily things done. People and governments must act now to save the world together and do their best to lessen the damages as much as possible.
