GeographyWater and Carbon CyclesA2/A-levelAQA Created by: libbytwiddle1Created on: 07-01-23 16:49 where matter or energy is added to the system input 1 of 40 where matter or energy leaves the system output 2 of 40 where matter or energy is built up in a system store 3 of 40 where matter or energy moves in a system flow 4 of 40 inputs of a system are equal to the outputs dynamic equilibrium 5 of 40 type of feedback where a chain of events amplifies the impacts of the original event positive 6 of 40 type of feedback where a chain of events nullifies the impact of the original event and restores equilibrium negative 7 of 40 water cycle ___ = precipitation inputs 8 of 40 water cycle ___ = evapotranspiration, streamflow outputs 9 of 40 water cycle ___ = groundwater, soil water, rivers, interception, surface stores 10 of 40 water cycle ___ = infiltration, percolation, throughflow, surface runoff, stemflow, groundwater flow flows 11 of 40 water moving from above ground into the soil infiltration 12 of 40 water moves from the ground or soil into porous rock/rock fractures percolation 13 of 40 the flow of water through the soil throughflow 14 of 40 the flow of water that has been intercepted by plants or trees stemflow 15 of 40 precipitation = total runoff + evapotranspiration +/- storage water balance 16 of 40 the annual balance between inputs and outputs in the water cycle water budget 17 of 40 water stored in any liquid water hydrosphere 18 of 40 water stored in the crust and upper mantle lithosphere 19 of 40 water stored that is frozen cryosphere 20 of 40 water stored as water vapour atmosphere 21 of 40 underground water stores aquifers 22 of 40 graph used to represent rainfall for a rivers drainage basin hydrograph 23 of 40 the volume of water passing through a cross-sectional point of the river at any one point in time discharge 24 of 40 the line on the graph representing the discharge increasing rising limb 25 of 40 the line on the graph representing the discharge decreasing falling limb 26 of 40 the time between peak rainfall and peak discharge (hydrograph) lag time 27 of 40 the level of groundwater flow on a hydrograph baseflow 28 of 40 the maximum capacity of the river bankfull discharge 29 of 40 type of hydrograph with a short lag time and high peak discharge, most likely during a storm event flashy 30 of 40 type of hydrograph with a long lag time and low peak discharge subdued 31 of 40 carbon dioxide + water -> oxygen + glucose photosynthesis 32 of 40 oxygen + glucose -> carbon dioxide + water respiration 33 of 40 when fossil fuels and organic matter such as tress are burnt, it releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere combustion 34 of 40 when living organisms die, they are broken down by decomposers (bacteria) which respire and release CO2 into atmosphere and soil decomposition 35 of 40 type of weathering that occurs when CO2 in air combines with rainwater to make carbonic acid, which erodes rocks such as limestone carbonation 36 of 40 any store which takes in more carbon than it emits carbon sink 37 of 40 any store that emits more carbon than it stores carbon source 38 of 40 type of cycles that suggest that there are natural variations in climate, even before carbon dioxide levels have risen milankovitch 39 of 40 an expanse of waterlogged, acidic soil and peat (decayed organic matter) - also known as peatland moorland 40 of 40
