What is biogeochemical cycle?

Cycling of substances is a pathway by which
is a chemical substance moves through biotic
(biosphere) and abiotic (lithosphere,atmosphere,
and hydrosphere)

Types Of biochemical Cycle?

Sedimentary cycle: these cycle involve the
transportation of matter through the ground of
water,that is to say from the lithosphere to the
hydrosphere
common example of cycle under the
sedimentary category are:
Phosphorus Cycle: is commonly found in
water,soiln and sediments. Phosphorus cannot
be found in the air in the gaseous state. This is
because phosphorus is usually a liquid at
standard temperature and pressures. Phophorus
is mainly cycled through water,soil and
sediments. However, very small particles in the
atmosphere may contain phosphorus or its
compound. Phosphorus is the slowest one of the
sedimentary cycle.
Sulphur cycle: sulphur natural form is a solid,
and restricted to the sedimentary cycle in this

form. It is transported by the physical processes

like wind,erosion by water ,and geological
events like volcanic erruption. However, in its
compound such as sulphur dioxide,sulohuric
acid,salts of sulphate, to the land and ocean
through rainfall and rivers.
Gaseous cycle: this is invove the transportation
of matters through the atmosphere. Common
example of gaseous cycle are:
Carbon cycle: its absorb infarred radiation
and hence that may contribute to global
warming and climate change.
Nitrogen cycle: the nitrogen is by far the
most nutrient cycle for plant life
Oxygen cycle: describe the movement of
oxygen witin and between its three main
reservoir (atmosphere,biosphere and
lithosphere) the main driving factor of oxygen is
the photosynthesis and because of this oxygen

and carbon cycle are usually linked and the two

cycle are collectively called oxygen-carbon
cycle.
Hydrological cycle (water cycle)

Ecological problem
1.

Pollution: Pollution of air,water amd

soil requires millions of year to recoup.
Industry and motor vehicle are the number
one pollutant. Heavy metals,nitrate and
plastic are toxic responsible for pollution.
While water pollution is caused by oil
spill,acid rain,urban runoff ; soil pollution is
majorily caused by industrial waste that
deprives soil from essential nutrient.

2.

Global warming: climate change like

global warming is the result of human
practices like emission of greenhouse
gasses. Global warming leads to rising
temperature of the ocean and the earths
surface causing melting of polar ice caps,
rise in sea levels and also unnatural patterns
of precipitation such as flash floods,
excessive snow or desertification.

Overpopulation: The population of the

planet is reaching ussuntainable levels as it
faces
