The Drainage Basin System

Drainage basins are open systems and link with the global hydrological cycle

What are the dif ferences between open and closed systems?

The water system in your house is an example of an open system.

∗ Closed systems – are open to the transfer of energy only.

The hydrological cycle is an example.

The dif ferences between the hydrological and drainage basin

systems

∗ Your task is to produce a double page spread for an A level textbook on the hydrological cycle and drainage basin system You will need to include answers to the following key questions:∗ What is the hydrological cycle?∗ What is the drainage basin system?∗ What are the dif ferences between open and

closed systems?

Include diagrams, key words in bold and consider layout in detail.
