It increases the amount of precipitation

Mikayla Cardenas · Answer 2

The answer is; B

When the oceans warm up, the rate of evaporation of the waters from the oceans to the atmosphere increases. This also transfers more heat to the atmosphere as the evaporated water condenses into clouds. The heat in the atmosphere drives ferocious storms with increased precipitation. This is why global warming is blamed on increased intensity of weather and climate around the globe.
