Relationship Between Water Cycle And Carbon Cycle In The Atmosphere

Question 1

Where are water and carbon both stored

Answer 1

In biomass

Question 2

What process requires water and carbon

Answer 2

Photosynthesis- it converts energy from sunlight into biomass but cannot occur without water

Question 3

How does water and carbon interact in the atmosphere

Answer 3

CO2 controls the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere and therefore the size of the enhanced greenhouse effect

Question 4

How does water and carbon interact to form chemical weathering

Answer 4

Carbon combines with water to form acid rain, removes carbon from the atmosphere and helps transfer it to the hydrosphere and biosphere
