(7) At about 3:45, Dr. Famigleitti displays a global GRACE map and some graphical data. Make a sketch of the time series for snow water storage in the Tibetan plateau. Include a trend line in your sketch. Do the GRACE data illustrate water loss or water gain in this area? Part 2: GRACE USA map (8) The NASA map below illustrates the rate of freshwater storage change between 2003 and 2012. Which color is used to show areas in which the amount of groundwater has increased between 2003 and 2012? Which color is used to show areas in which the amount of groundwater has decreased between 2003 and 2012? (9) Which area on the map has experienced the greatest decrease in groundwater between 2003 and 2012? Propose a reason for what could be causing this decrease. (10) Which area on the map has experienced the greatest increase in groundwater reserves between 2003 and 2012? Propose a reason for this increase.
