Most naturally, the water and carbon cycle are open systems.
5 of 8
What are the characteristics of an open systems?
They have a structure that is designed by it's components, they function in the same way (involves inputs and outputs and/ or matter is processed causing the system to change in some way.

What are the stores (components)?
Where amounts of energy or matter is are held and not transferred
7 of 8
What are transfers and flows?
Is the movement of energy or matter through the system, which enables inputs to become outputs - these may involve processes that create change
