Answer:

A drought poses a huge threat to all life. If a drought occurred the entire food chain would disintegrate within months. There would be no water for any animals or plants. Small mammals would not be able to eat plants, and reptiles would not be able to the small animals, and so on. A drought can destroy an ecosystem in a short amount of time.

Water is only being moved into the air through water vapor, so the air will become hotter than water. Land is also not moving in the atmosphere and absorbing heat like air is, so air will also be hotter than land, depending on what the land is made of.

Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater—part of the geosphere. ... Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Adiabatic temperature changes.

Explanation:

Temperature changes related to changes of pressure without external gain or loss of heat. If no heat is added or lost to the surroundings, then when an air parcel rises and expands, its temperature drops. Conversely, when the parcel is compressed, its temperature rises. So the term adiabatic, implies a change in temperature of the air parcel without gain or loss of heat from outside the air parcel.
