The Water Cycle, Carbon Cycle, and Climate Change (Junior Cert Science): Flashcards

Water changes from liquid to gas (water vapour)

Water vapour changes back into liquid water

Water falls as rain, sleet, or snow

$0.04\%$

Process removing more $\text{CO}_2$ than it contributes

Plants convert $\text{CO}_2$ to oxygen and starch (food)

Amount of $\text{CO}_2$ released by activities of individual/group

Same effect as $30$ times as much $\text{CO}_2$

Burning fossil fuels and deforestation

Less than $2°\text{C}$ vs pre-industrial levels
