stores in a local hydrological cycle and their size and residence times and the fluxes of processes

cryosphere (store)

size- 16000km³

residence time- 2 weeks→1 year

^{biosphere( store)}

precip( land→land)

flux- 110000 km³a

advection (process~)

flux- 35000km³

evaporation

flux- 500000km³

clouds(store)

size- 13000km³

res time-10 days

ocean

size- 1.338 bill km³

res time- 4000 years

why are the fluxes of processes that happen across/ from the ocean the largest?

the ocean has a very large surface area SO greater evap SO fluxes are largest here??

what are the fluxes like in the rainforest and why?

very fast

as theres high temps and high solar energy which is one of the main driving forces of the g.h.c
