Carbon Cycle Feedbacks and Transfers

The carbon cycle involves complex feedback mechanisms and various transfer processes between different Earth systems. Understanding these interactions is crucial for climate change studies.

Definition: Positive feedbacks amplify changes, while negative feedbacks help stabilize systems.

Example: Wildfires represent a positive feedback loop, releasing CO₂ that increases global warming, leading to more fires.

Highlight: Major carbon stores include sediments, rocks, oceans, soil organic matter, and terrestrial plants.

Quote: "Carbon sinks absorb more CO₂ than they emit, while carbon sources release more than they absorb."

Case Studies: River Eden and Amazon Rainforest

These case studies demonstrate practical applications of water and carbon cycle concepts in real-world environments.

Highlight: The River Eden basin in Cumbria features steep slopes and receives approximately 2000mm of annual rainfall.

Example: The Amazon Rainforest, covering 5.5 million km², traditionally acts as a carbon sink but recent studies show concerning changes.

Quote: "Studies in 2021 show Amazon emits more CO₂ than it absorbs, releasing 166 billion tons while drawing in only 139 billion tons."

Vocabulary: A carbon sink is an environment that absorbs more carbon than it releases, though the Amazon's status is changing.

Water Cycle Components and Changes

The water cycle consists of various interconnected components including precipitation, evapotranspiration, and streamflow. Water moves through different stores and flows, affecting hydrograph patterns and flood risks.

Definition: A hydrograph shows how water discharge varies over time, with flashy hydrographs indicating rapid response to rainfall and subdued hydrographs showing gradual changes.

Vocabulary: Infiltration refers to water movement from ground to soil, while percolation describes water movement into rocks.

Example: In flashy hydrographs, there's a short lag time and steep rising and falling limbs, leading to higher flood risks.

Highlight: Human activities like deforestation, agriculture, and urbanization significantly increase surface runoff and flood risks.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

Just amazing. Let's me revise 10x better, this app is a quick 10/10. I highly recommend it to anyone. I can watch and search for notes. I can save them in the subject folder. I can revise it any time when I come back. If you haven't tried this app, you're really missing out.

This app has made me feel so much more confident in my exam prep, not only through boosting my own self confidence through the features that allow you to connect with others and feel less alone, but also through the way the app itself is centred around making you feel better. It is easy to navigate, fun to use, and helpful to anyone struggling in absolutely any way.

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I know a lot of apps use fake accounts to boost their reviews but this app deserves it all. Originally I was getting 4 in my English exams and this time I got a grade 7. I didn’t even know about this app three days until the exam and it has helped A LOT. Please actually trust me and use it as I’m sure you too will see developments.
