Question

Which is not a gaseous biogeochemical cycle?
(The question has multiple correct options.)
A) Sulphur
B) Phosphorus
C) Nitrogen
D) Carbon

Answer 1

Hint: These gases are included in the sedimentary cycle. Biogeochemical include both gaseous cycle and sedimentary cycle. Biogeochemical is also known as the cycling of the substances or nutrient cycle. It is a cycle with gaseous exchange which includes various gases. Many organisms including humans depend on this biogeochemical cycle.

Complete answer:
The pathway in which chemical substances move through the biotic and abiotic compartments of the earth is called biogeochemical.
It is also known as a nutrient cycle or biochemical cycle or cycling of the substances or substances turnover. Biogeochemical plays an important role in the survival of various organisms including humans.
Biogeochemical is divided into two types. Gaseous cycle and Sedimentary cycle.
The gaseous cycle includes carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and water cycle. In a gaseous cycle, the material involves the circulation of biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere are gases.
The sedimentary cycle includes sulphur, phosphorus and rock cycle. In the sedimentary cycle, the material involving the circulation of biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere are non-gaseous.

Hence, the correct option is both A and B Sulphur and Phosphorus.

Additional Information:
Some of the major biogeochemical cycles are water cycle or hydrologic cycle, carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle and oxygen cycle.
Due to the increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the biogeochemical cycles altered which affects the biodiversity, human health and climatic condition.

Note:
Biogeochemical is a natural cycle in which several chemical components move through the biotic and abiotic compartments of the earth. It is for two types. Gaseous cycle and sedimentary cycle. Gaseous cycle reservoir pool is the atmosphere or hydrosphere and Sedimentary cycle reservoir pool is lithosphere. The gaseous cycle is more rapid than the sedimentary cycle. The gaseous cycle involves gases like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen. Hence, sulphur and phosphorus are not gaseous biogeochemical.
