if there would be no water cycle then the earth would be dried up and there would be no lives on the earth True, but first, with no water, there would be a massive drought, and all green plants can't perform photosynthesis without water, which means there is no breatheable air, so people die from no oxygen, and no water, as well as plants and other organisms. The basic land would be there, with all dead things, and because there is no air for decomposers, it would most likely just sit there.
