Question

State the different types of biogeochemical cycles and explain the importance of those cycles

Answer 1

The different types of biogeochemical cycles are :-
water cycle
nitrogen cycle
carbon cycle
oxygen cycle.

Importance of these biogeochemical cycles are to maintain the presence of water, nitrogen, carbon, oxygen and balance the temperature change of the nature.

hope you understand.

Answer 2

Explanation:

To maintain the concentrations of different naturally occurring substances in the environment, there are mechanisms that constantly recycle these substances. These recycling mechanisms are called biogeochemical cycles. So, biogeochemical cycles are the cyclic flow of nutrients between non-living environment and living organisms.

Types of Biogeochemical Cycles

There are two major types of biogeochemical cycles

1. Gaseous cycle: These are the biogeochemical cycles in which the reservoir pool is the atmosphere or hydrosphere. For example, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle etc.

2. Sedimentary cycles: These are the biogeochemical cycles in which the reservoir pool is generally lithosphere. For example, Phosphorous cycle, Sulphur cycle etc.
