Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sedimentary biogeochemical cycles involve the cycling of nutrients through the soil, rocks, and minerals, as well as the ocean floor. This includes the carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles. Gaseous biogeochemical cycles involve the cycling of nutrients in the atmosphere, such as the oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen cycles. Terrestrial and aquatic refer to the types of ecosystems where biogeochemical cycles occur, but do not necessarily indicate the main reservoirs of nutrients involved in the cycle.
