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.
