The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among the biosphere, pedosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the Earth. Carbon is the main component of biological compounds as well as a major component of many minerals such as limestone.
Explanation:
Mineral cycle is cyclic interchange of minerals from one to other form. This is also called biogeochemical cycle because there is chemical change involved from biological structure to geographical structure and from geographical to biological structure.

On Earth, most carbon is stored in rocks and sediments, while the rest is located in the ocean, atmosphere, and in living organisms. These are the reservoirs, or sinks, through which carbon cycles. ... Humans play a major role in the carbon cycle through activities such as the burning of fossil fuels or land development.
