The document discusses three natural cycles: the water cycle, carbon cycle, and oxygen cycle. The water cycle describes how water moves between the Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans through physical processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and subsurface flow. The carbon cycle explains how carbon is an essential element for all living things and is exchanged between the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. Photosynthesis and respiration are key processes. The oxygen cycle outlines how oxygen is produced through photosynthesis by plants and stored in minerals and the atmosphere before being used for respiration by animals and released back into the air.
