Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedimentary cycles, also known as geochemical cycles, involve the transfer of elements and minerals between the biotic and abiotic components of the Earth's surface. Phosphorus, calcium, and sulfur are all major components of sedimentary rocks and are involved in these cycles, as they are released through weathering and erosion and transported in water or air to be redistributed and precipitated. Gaseous cycles, such as the carbon and nitrogen cycles, primarily involve atmospheric gases, while biocycles involve the cycling of nutrients within living organisms. Nutrient systems and moisture cycles are not recognized scientific terms related to geochemical cycles.
