WATER AND CARBON
similarities
-
-
share similar stores e.g. lithosphere, bioshpere and atmosphere
both experience changes temporally (seasonally and LT by dynamic equilbrium and from human activity) and spatially (rates of evaporation or photosynthesis are higher in the tropics)
water is an essential component for carbon transfers e.g. photosynthesis (6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2) and respiration (C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy)
water vapour is a greenhouse gas - this affects the carbon cycle (with more water vapour in the atmosphere the carbon cycle will be affected as a result of climate change)
changes in the carbon cycle can affect the water cycle e.g. from an ^ of carbon in atmoshpere from climate changes this can impact stores of water such as icecaps and glaciers, affecting the cryosphere
