Systems in physical geography: systems concepts and their application to the water and carbon cycles inputs- outputs, energy, stores/components, flows/transfers, positive/negative feedback, dynamic equilibrium
12
cards
The Water Cycle (Unit 1, Topic 2)
Global distribution and size of major stores of water- lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and atmosphere. Flows and transfers within systems, drainage basin as open systems, water balance. Runoff variation and flood hydrograph. Changes in the water cycle including natural variation, water abstraction and land use change.

cards
The Carbon Cycle (Unit 1, Topic 3)
Global distribution of major carbon stores- lithosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, biosphere, atmosphere. Flows and transfers between plant, sere and continental scales. Changes in the carbon cycle over time. The carbon budget and the impact of the carbon cycle upon land, ocean and atmosphere, including global climate.

cards
Water, Carbon, Climate and Life on Earth (Unit 1, Topic 4)
The key role of the carbon and water stores and cycles in supporting life on Earth with particular reference to climate. The relationship between the water cycle and carbon cycle in the atmosphere. The role of feedbacks within and between cycles and their link to climate change and implications for life on Earth. Human interventions in the carbon cycle designed to influence carbon transfers and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
