Earth Life Support Sytems
Water cycle
Inputs and outputs of water
Water evaporated from oceans
Water vapour transpired through the leaves of plants through a process called evapotranspiration
Moisture leaves the atmosphere through precipitation
Moisture leaves the atmosphere through condensation for example fog
Precipitation and meltwater drain from the land surface as run-off in to rivers
Carbon cycle
Inputs and outputs of carbon
Slow carbon cycle
Carbon stored in rocks
Sea floor sediment and fossils fuels
Water diffuses between the atmosphere and the oceans
Clams and corals use it make their shells and skeletons and when they die these organisms sink to the ocean floor
Sedimentary rock subduction I top the upper mantle at tectonic plate boundaries are vented into the atmosphere in volcanic erruptions
Chemical weathering
Decomposed organic material
Carbonaceous rocks
Coal, Lignite, oil and Natural Gas
Fast carbon cycle
