Brief Explanations
The carbon cycle involves the atmosphere (e.g., CO₂ in the air). The nitrogen cycle has nitrogen gas in the atmosphere. The water cycle has water vapor in the atmosphere. The sulfur cycle can have sulfur - containing gases in the atmosphere. However, the phosphorus cycle mainly occurs in the lithosphere (rocks, soil) and hydrosphere (water bodies) and does not have a significant atmospheric component.
