Question

difference between oxygen cycle and nitrogen cycle

Answer 1

The oxygen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle of oxygenwithin its four main reservoirs: the atmosphere (air), the total content of biological matter within the biosphere (the global sum of all ecosystems), the hydrosphere (the combined mass of water found on, under, and over the surface of planet Earth), and the .


nitrogen
The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogenis converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among the atmosphere, terrestrial, and marineecosystems. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (78%) is nitrogen,[1] making it the largest source of nitrogen. However, atmospheric nitrogen has limited availability for biological use, leading to a scarcity of usable nitrogen in many types of ecosystems. 

Answer 2

·Nitrogen cycle shows how nitrogen is cycled in the environment whereas carbon cycle shows the cycling of carbon.

• The reservoir for nitrogen cycle is atmospheric nitrogen whereas for carbon it is carbon dioxide gas.

• Nitrogen reservoir is much larger compared to carbon reservoir.

• A disturbance in the carbon cycle can be much more affected to humans and animals rapidly compared to a disturbance in the nitrogen cycle.··
