carbon, nitrogen and hydrological cycles. These cycles among others, bring with them various geological, chemical, physical and biological processes (name, date). All these cycles are interconnected; matter within them is continually cycled between biotic and abiotic parts of the environment (name, date). Without appropriate nutrient and element cycling on earth, ecosystems would become unsustainable as these cycles firstly ensure that there is no waste, whilst also ensuring essential elements…
solid foundation with few erosion issues, decreasing the chances of shifting in the future. The shallow-sloping limestone makes building easier as steep inclines are not apparent.
