Water and Carbon - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Energy or matter leaving the system
      - E.g., river water flowing to sea, sediment deposition
    - - Actions or mechanisms that move the inputs
      - E.g., evaporation, erosion, transportation
    - - Energy or matter entering the system
      - E.g., rainfall, sediment, solar energy
    - - Movement between stores
      - E.g., infiltration, surface runoff, groundwater flow
    - - Places where matter or energy is held temporarily
      - E.g., lakes, glaciers, soil moisture
  - - - A system where both matter and energy can enter and leave
      - E.g., a drainage basin
        
        Water enters as precipitation and leaves as river flow or evapotranspiration
    - - A system where only energy can enter and leave, but matter is fixed within the system
      - E.g., the global water cycle
        
        Water is neither lost nor gained, only change in state or location
  - - - The layer of gas between the earth's surface and space, held in place by gravity
    - - Where living organisms can be found
      - Plants, animals, birds, fungi, insects, bacteria
    - - All the water on earth
      - It may be liquid form (lakes and rivers)
      - It may be solid form (ice stored in cryosphere)
      - It may be gas form (vapour stored in the atmosphere)
      - It can be saline or fresh
    - - The outermost part of the Earth made up of the crust and solidified upper mantle
    - - This includes all the parts of the earth's system where it is cold enough for water to freeze
      - E.g., glacial landscapes
