1. Chapter 1 of Unit A-5 examines four specific Biogeochemical Cycles in detail. Which option correctly lists all four?
- A. Carbon, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Soil cycles
- B. Oxygen, Water, Carbon, and Soil cycles
- C. Oxygen, Carbon, Nitrogen, and Water cycles
- D. Water, Carbon, Sulfur, and Oxygen cycles
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: B. The four biogeochemical cycles covered in detail here are oxygen, water, carbon, and soil. Nitrogen and phosphorus are important recycled elements, but they are not part of that set of four. Sulfur is not one of the four either.
