How do anthropogenic factors affect the concept of 'dynamic equilibrium' in water and carbon cycles?

Human activities like deforestation, fossil fuel burning, and industrial processes can disrupt the dynamic equilibrium in both cycles. For example, excess carbon emissions accelerate global warming, which in turn affects precipitation patterns and alters the water cycle. These disruptions can lead to long-lasting imbalances, causing shifts in ecosystems and contributing to climate change.
