CARBON + WATER CYCLES (Interdependence (C is transported, dissolved +…

- - - - Melting + sea level rise
      - Permafrost melts = methane released into atmmosphere
      - Global warming = rising temps. + ice melting
    - - C sequestering + acidification - less C is stored w warmer sea temps.
      - Less C stored in oceans due to rising temps. = more C in atmosphere = further temp. increase - POS. FEEDBACK
    - - Burning fossil fuels releases CO2 into atmosphere, transfer C from fast to slow cycle
      - More evap. of surface water with increased temps.
      - Deforestation + urbanisation = more C in atmosphere as plants can't photosynthesise
      - Deforestation + urbanisation = faster runoff as there are no plants for interception + to take up the water thru their roots
  - - - Global warming = rising temps + ice melting
      - Melting = sea level rise
      - Permafrost melts = methane released into atmosphere
    - - Melting ice = sea level rise
      - Melting = sea level rise
      - Melting ice = more freshwater into oceans - changes environ. for orgs.
    - - Permafrost melts = more plant growth
        
        CO2 can be removed from atmosphere
        
        Runoff rates can be decreased bc of plant growth
  - - - Melting ice = sea level rise
      - Melting cie = more freshwater into oceans - changes habitat
    - - C sequestering + acidification - less C is stored with warmer sea temps.
      - Less C stored in oceans due to rising temps. = more C in atmosphere = further temp. increase - POS. FEEDBACK
    - - Sea level rise = more erosion
      - Less CO2 in water = less erosion via carbonation
      - Groundwater desalinisation
