When it doesn’t rain, the ground and plants dry out. With less water to evaporate during the long days of summer heat, the landscape gets hotter. Hotter temperatures accelerate evaporation, drying everything out even more.
Identify a response from this feedback scenario.
Low levels of precipitation
No rain
evaporation accelerates
formation of rain forests
