Water and Carbon Cycles - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Groundwater storage
      - Soil storage
      - Channel storage (water held in river)
      - Surface storage
      - Interception
      - Vegetation storage
    - - Runoff
      - Evaporation
      - Transpiration (evaporation from within the leaves)
      - River discharge
      - Evapotranspiration
    - - evaporation
      - Groundwater flow
      - Percolation (water seeping down through water table)
      - Infiltration
      - Overland flow
      - Throughfall
    - - Precipitation
        
        Frontal
        
        Warm and cold air meet. Warm air rises over the cold, condenses and forms clouds and falls as precipitation.
        
        Convectional
        
        Bubbles of air rise over a body of water and is heated by the body of water. Convective clouds such as cumulus then cool and release rain.
        
        Orographic
        
        Moisture laden air is forced up over a mountain and then forms clouds and precipitation
    - - Open, local hydrological cycles
        
        Can be described as the area surrounding the river where the rain falling on the land flows into that river. Catchment area
        
        Boundary of drainage basin is known as the watershed.
  - - - 1/3 of fresh water
    - - Sublimation
        
        solid --> gas
      - Melting
      - Freezing
      - Accumulation
      - Ablation
        
        removal of snow or ice from a glacier or snowfield
      - 2/3 of fresh water
    - - Saline water = 97.5% of the Earth's water store. Freshwater 69% in cryosphere mainly.
    - - 0.001% of all water on earth
  - - - underground aquifers
  - - - Delay between peak rainfall and peak discharge.
    - - when river discharge is at its greatest.
    - - increases as rainfall flows into the river. part before peak discharge or leading up to it
