The Effects of global warming on the changes of these geological processes

 

HOW DOES GLOBAL WARMING AFFECT WEATHERING?

As a potent greenhouse gas, atmospheric carbon dioxide also traps heat from the sun. And a warmer Earth increases the rate of chemical weathering both by causing more rainfall and by speeding up the chemical reactions between rainwater and rock. 

HOW DOES GLOBAL WARMING AFFECT WEATHERING AND EROSION?

Climate changes, such as more frequent and intense rain events, can increase erosion and result in greater amounts of sediment washing into rivers, lakes and streams. More frequent and intense rain events, can increase sediment loading from stormwater runoff.

HOW DOES GLOBAL WARMING AFFECT EROSION?

Climate changes, such as more frequent and intense rain events, can increase erosion and result in greater amounts of sediment washing into rivers, lakes and streams.

More frequent and intense rain events, can increase sediment loading from stormwater runoff. Stronger storms, higher river levels, and faster stream velocity can increase erosion and result in increased suspended sediment (turbidity) in water bodies as well as affect normal distribution of sediment along river, lake and stream beds. These climate impacts can challenge efforts to maintain water quality through effective erosion and sediment control management efforts.
