2. To what extent are the water and carbon cycles linked?
Objectives
The water and carbon cycles are linked and interdependent.
Human activities cause changes in water and carbon stores.

3. To what extent are the water and carbon cycles linked?
How are the water and carbon cycles inter-linked and inter-dependent in the:
Atmosphere
Oceans
Vegetation and soil
Cryosphere (amount of ice)

4. To what extent are the water and carbon cycles linked?
1) How are the water and carbon cycles inter-linked and inter-dependent in:
Atmosphere
Oceans
Vegetation and soil
Cryosphere (amount of ice)

5. Human activities cause changes in water and carbon stores
Think back over the unit and the examples you have looked at.
Which are the main human activities that have altered the water cycle?
What impacts have these had in terms of flows and storage?

6. Human activities cause changes in water and carbon stores
What changes will occur to the stores and flows if this area is deforested and urbanised?

7. Human activities cause changes in water and carbon stores
Can you explain the changes?
Water Cycle
2) Explain each of the changes caused to the water cycle by deforestation and urbanisation.
3) What impacts can over extraction have on the stores and flows of the water cycle? E.g Colorado Basin

9. Human activities cause changes in water and carbon stores
Can you explain the changes?

10. Human activities cause changes in water and carbon stores
Carbon Cycle
4a) Describe and explain the main changes to carbon stores before and after deforestation.
b) Describe and explain changes in the fluxes (transfers) of carbon caused by deforestation.

b) Describe and explain changes in the fluxes (transfers) of carbon caused by deforestation.
5) How has the burning of fossil fuels changed the stores in the carbon cycle and why?
6) How has deforestation and the draining or wetlands altered the carbon stores and why?
