This overview explores essential biogeochemical cycles, focusing on nutrient cycles such as the hydrological, nitrogen, carbon, and oxygen cycles. The hydrological cycle illustrates the movement of water, vital for nutrient transport, photosynthesis, and habitat maintenance. The nitrogen cycle emphasizes nitrogen's role in DNA and plant growth, while the carbon cycle highlights carbon’s importance in organic life. Lastly, the oxygen cycle is crucial for cellular respiration. Understanding these cycles is fundamental for grasping ecosystem dynamics and sustainability.

Biogeochemical Cycles Nutrient Cycles
Cycle Types: • Gaseous- spend time in the atmosphere. • Sedementary- rock.
Hydrological Cycle • Movement of water through living and non-living things. • Carries nutrients to and from the bodies cells.
Ingredient for photosynthesis. • Ingredient for decomposition. • Coolant. • Habitat.
Nitrogen Cycle • Important part of the DNA molecule, plant growth and development.
Carbon Cycle • Building block for organic(life) molecules.
Oxygen Cycle • Ingredient for cellular respiration (energy).
