Bio-Geo Chemical Cycle

Page 2: Bio geo chemical cycle

Bio-Geo Chemical Cycle:• In Earth science, a bio-geo chemical cycle or

substance turnover or cycling of substances is a pathway by which a chemical substance moves through both biotic and abiotic compartments of Earth.

Water Cycle

Page 4: Bio geo chemical cycle

The Water Cycle:The water cycle, also known as the hydrologic

cycle or the H₂O cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth.

Carbon-OxygenCycle

Page 6: Bio geo chemical cycle

Carbon-Oxygen Cycle: The carbon oxygen cycle is the process in which

oxygen is released into the atmosphere by animals. In turn, carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and used during photosynthesis. This cycle continues to ensure the correct amount of gas is always in the air.

Nitrogen Cycle

Page 8: Bio geo chemical cycle

Nitrogen CycleThe series of processes by which nitrogen and its

compounds are interconverted in the environment and in living organisms, including nitrogen fixation and decomposition.

Sulfur Cycle

Page 10: Bio geo chemical cycle

Sulfur Cycle

The sulfur cycle is the collection of processes by which sulfur moves to and from minerals (including the waterways) and living systems. Such biogeochemical cycles are important in geology because they affect many minerals.

Phosphorus Cycle• The phosphorus cycle is the

biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere.
