another‚ the water cycle purifies water‚ replaces the Earth with fresh water and transports minerals to different places on the Earth. The water cycle also is involved with reshaping the Earths geological features of the Earth through processes like erosion and sedimentation. The water cycle has an influence on climate as well. The sun is basically the motor to the water cycle. The sun heats oceans and seas and water from the heated oceans and seas evaporates as water vapor into the air. Ice and snow

rising sea levels. Climate change occurs around the world due to the greenhouse gases trapping the heat in our earth. E.g. global warming and climate change is occurring in north and South Pole due to a rise in the earth’s surface tempters causing glaciers and the ice caps to melt studies shows that in next 50-70 years we will no longer have our polar ice caps. Climate change occurs due to the excessive amount of greenhouse gases being pumped into the earth’s atmosphere every day because of human
