Components these parts of system boxes In this example the components are Atmospheric CO Dissolved CO Dissolution Couplings these are the processes or mechanisms within the system Couplings are commonly verbs that explain the relationship between the components and are with arrows In this example the couplings are Rock Weathering Mineralized CO Volcanism represented Subduction Sedimentation Use the components and couplings to draw a model in the space below You can add components or couplings to make your model more complete Bonus In some cases you can indicate if a coupling is positive or negative by thinking about how one component affects another component or coupling In a positive coupling a change in one component causes a change in a coupling or component in the same direction In a negative coupling the change is in the opposite direction Atmosphere Ocean Lithosphere
