Atmospheric co2 has a
greenhouse
effect and affects
photosynthesis
and thus the
water
cycle as plant absorb
water
to
photosynthesise
Water is
evaporated
from
oceans
to
atmosphere
and
co2
is
exchanged
Ocean acidity increases when
co2
exchanges are not in balance
Solubility
of
co2
increases with
lower
sea surface temperatures which is affected by atmospheric
co2
atmospheric co2 influences
melting
and
sea level tise
Water availability influences
photosynthesis
and
water storage increases
with
organic content
Temperatures and
rainfall
affect
decomposition
Co2 levels influence the
melting
of
ice sheets
which exposes more
land
leading to more
heat
being
absorbed
Permafrost melting exposes
organic matter
to
decomposition
Temp influences
evaporation
and
river flow
