Water Cycle: Tropical Storm Washi caused a lot of flooding, increasing the water level on the land. This affected the rate of evaporation and the rate at which water goes into the ground. The sea surface temperature rised, increasing moisture in the atmosphere. This would affect the amount of perciputation, and possibly increase the chances for tornadoes and even more storms.
Carbon Cycle: The floods caused by Tropical Storm Washi damaged many trees and plants. The decrease in trees would produce too much carbon in the atmosphere because there would not be enough trees consuming carbon. Also, many people and animals died in result of the massive flooding and mud slides. This would disturb the carbon cycle with the decrease of organisms taking in oxygen.
Phosphorus: Again, the flooding caused by Tropical Storm Washi leads to the affect of a different cycle. Phosphorus is found in sediment, soil, and water. The rise of water levels could mean more phosphorus being cycled, or could mean that not enough phosphorus is being cycled due to the fact that the water levels are too high for the phosphorus to get to the soil and sediment.
