Explain how water property is related to climate change and relate this based on the image provided below. Minimum of 400 words, maximum of 700 words.

Hotter/Drier Conditions (Interior West)
Hotter/Wetter Conditions (NE and Coasts)
Heat Trapped by the Atmosphere Causes more Evaporation
and More Precipitation
A Warmer Atmosphere Holds More Water Vapor, Which is
Also a Heat Trapping Gas
