When the tide is high and waves crash about‚ air is mixed with the water‚ thus increasing oxygen content. This is due to the fact that when waves crash about‚ the water will be more exposed to the air and cause an increase in the amount of oxygen present in the water. When the tide is low and periwinkles are exposed‚ there is no shortage of oxygen for the periwinkle snails either because the surrounding air is composed of around 21% oxygen‚ which is enough oxygen for a periwinkle snail. To survive

1.Explain how human interference in the water cycle can affect water availability The water cycle is the process of evaporation‚ condensation and precipitation of water on Earth including rain water and how it is distributed. Human factors such as forest clearing‚ urban construction and changes in land use can all affect the distribution of water. Infiltration can be affected by forest clearance. This also affects percolation and the water table. When there is rain the forests holds a lot of rainfall
