How does photosynthesis work with the water cycle?
Like why is photosynthesis significant specifcally to the water cycle? I know why it is important for the carbon cycle already.

In the short version, water gets used up during photosynthesis. Water gets pulled up from the ground, into the roots and up to the leaves. The leaves then release Oxygen and water vapor and what not. The two biggest contributing factors to the water cycle are transpiration and evaporation. Water evaporates from the leaves and also is released. And if you make the right connections, you’ll see how this relates to the water cycle.
