Identify the core concept of biogeochemical cycles

Biogeochemical cycles describe the movement and circulation of matter through the biotic (biosphere) and abiotic (lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere) components of Earth.

Evaluate the general term "matter"

Since biogeochemical cycles refer to the cycling of chemical substances and elements, all forms of physical substance involved in these processes constitute matter. Therefore, matter is cycled.

Evaluate the specific substances and elements

Water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\)), nitrogen (\(\text{N}\)), phosphorus (\(\text{P}\)), and carbon (\(\text{C}\)) are all key chemical substances or elements that undergo well-documented biogeochemical cycles (the water cycle, nitrogen cycle, phosphorus cycle, and carbon cycle). Thus, all five options are cycled through the biosphere.
