AQA A-Level GEOGRAPHY Paper 1 Physical Geography MS 2021. Outline the relationship between the water cycle and the carbon cycle in the atmosphere. Point marked Allow 1 mark per valid point with extra mark(s) for developed points (d). For example: Notes for answers • Increasing concentrations of carbon (and Methane) in the atmosphere has a warming effect on the planet and leads to increased evaporation (1). This can increase rates of precipitation or equally higher rates of evapor...

The first definition that fits the American West is its aridity and water scarcity together with the inconsistency of water sources with the coastal areas being exempt from this water shortage. It thus follows that there is a limited supply of water against a background of growing demand from increased populations to industrial and agricultural needs creating a serious water crisis. The major sources of water in the American West are under threat due to overreliance by humans, climate change and...
