Water cycle is an important process that influences both living and non-living things by the specific process they have. Specifically, non-living carries nutrients to living things such as plants, animals, and humans. As an example, the process of water running off by the soil erosion sustains marine life. As the water either gets infiltrated or flow through a path, it brings the needed nutrients to the ocean. To connect it with human activities, soil quality is a factor which we could change by everyday things done. The usage of fertilizers are able to both benefit and harm soils. In the process of infiltration, liquids are sucked up by the soil to add different sediments for the plants to grow. It connects with the process of nitrification in the nitrogen cycle, where the bacterias uses the oxygen and combines nutrients to create nitrates. Adding fertilizers to avoid lack of nutrients is a benefit, but using chemical fertilizers could harm not only the plants but marine life. Since nitrification happens based on the amount of nutrients, having too much nutrient in the ocean is dangerous. The bacteria uses the oxygen to create molecules, and end up as creating the lack of oxygen for animals to breathe.Therefore, non-living and livings are strongly connected by the different process in the cycles.
