Summary Introduction
To write:
The changes in the water cycle and the carbon cycle when living organisms are not present on the earth.
Introduction:
The water cycle is a process through which water flows all over the earth and atmosphere through evaporation, precipitation, condensation, plant and animal transpiration. The carbon cycle exchanges carbon dioxide in the biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere.

- The Cycling of Essential Chemicals There are many elements that are necessary for maintaining life that must be cycled through the ecosystem. During this module, we have discussed the cycling of carbon, and nitrogen. For each of the items, determine if it is relevant to the element or its cycle.
