Link between water and carbon

Question 1

Atmosphere

Answer 1

CO2 plays a role in photosynthesis by terrestrial plants. Plants extract water from soil and transpire. Water is evaporated from oceans to atmosphere and CO2 is exchanged

Question 2

Oceans

Answer 2

Ocean acidity increases when exchanges of CO2 are not in balance

Question 3

Vegetation

Answer 3

Water availability influences rates of photosynthesis. Temps and rainfall affect decomposition rates and the release of CO2
