A Level Geography - Earth Life Support Systems -correct answer_A Level Geography - Earth Life Support Systems How is water important in supporting life? -correct answer_- Water provides a medium that allows organic molecules to mix and form more complex structures. - Water helps to create benign thermal conditions on Earth. For example, oceans (occupy 71% of Earth's surface) moderate temperatures by absorbing heat, storing it and releasing it slowly. - Clouds made up of tiny water droplets and ice crystals reflect a fifth of incoming solar radiation and lower surface temperatures. - Water vapour absorbs long-wave radiation from the Earth helping to maintain average global temperatures. What enables water to exist in liquid form on Earth? -correct answer_The ubiquity of liquid water on Earth is due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun: it lies in the 'Goldilocks zone', which is perfect for water to exist in liquid form. How is water used for flora, fauna and people? -correct answer_- Water makes up 65-95% of all living organisms and is crucial to their growth, reproduction and other metabolic functions. - Plants need water for photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration - Plants also require water to maintain rigidity and to transport mineral nutrients from the soil. - In people and animals, water is the medium for all chemical reactions in the body including the circulation of oxygen and nutrients - Transpiration of water from leaf surfaces by evaporation cools plants. - Sweating is the cooling process in humans - Water is also used to generate electricity, irrigate crops, provide recreational facilities and satisfy public demand. It is also used in food manufacturing, brewing, paper making and steel making. How is carbon important for life on Earth? -correct answer_- Large molecules of carbon atoms such as proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids are essential in life - Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas power the global economy. - Oil is also used as a raw material in the manufacture of products ranging from plastics to paint and synthetic fabrics. - Agricultural crops and forest trees also store large amounts of carbon available for human use as food, timber, paper, textiles and many other products. On a global scale, in what system do carbon and water flow? -correct answer_In a closed system What areas do carbon and water flow between? -correct answer_The atmosphere, oceans, land, and biosphere How long does the cycling of water and carbon take? -correct answer_Days to millions of years At the macro-scale, what three stores does the global water cycle consist of? -correct answer_The atmosphere, oceans and land By what processes does water move between stores? -correct answer_Precipitation, evapotranspiration, run-off and groundwater flow How much carbon does long-term storage in sedimentary rocks hold? -correct answer_99.9% of carbon on Earth What are he main pathways that carbon takes when it moves between stores? -correct answer_Photosynthesis, respiration, oxidation (decomposition and combustion) and weathering What are systems? -correct answer_Systems are groups of objects and the relationships that bind the objects together Define closed system -correct answer_A system in which only energy can cross boundaries of the global water cycle and carbon cycle. What are open systems? -correct answer_Where materials as well as the Sun's energy cross system boundaries. Happens at smaller scales, e.g. drainage basin or forest ecosystem What is a reservoir? -correct answer_A lake that stores water for human use. How much water do the oceans contain? -co
