The Relationship Between W&C Cycle In Atmosphere

Question 1

Respiration

Answer 1

Respiration and decomposition of human animals and plants release CO2 in atmosphere which can then be dissolved in rainwater

Question 2

Burning

Answer 2

CO2 and water vapour released by wildfires, volcanoes, burning trees and fossil fuels burning

More CO2 in atmosphere results in EGE

Question 3

Diffusion

Answer 3

CO2 is diffused in ocean store from atmosphere and can then be diffused from ocean store to atmosphere store

If this did not happen, then they’re would be longer wave radiation - EGE

Question 4

Rainwater

Answer 4

Carbon is dissolved in rainwater as carbonic acid and this can be transported and stored in rivers/oceans

Rainwater/ocean absorbs CO2 as it is soluble in water

Question 5

Deforestation

Answer 5

Deforestation inc overland flow so there can be inc weathering of rocks

Overland flow will contain carbon as weak carbonic acid which dissolves sedimentary Rock (limestone), So dissolved carbon from carbonate rocks is released in Ocean store and by diffusion, into atmosphere store

Question 6

River exe

Answer 6

Peat bog in upper course inc in size due to blocking drainage ditches which were draining peat bog

Means more carbon and water will be stored in peat bog
