Which of the following best describes biogeochemical cycles? A. They cycle elements through the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem. B. They cycle elements through the plants and trees of an ecosystem C. They cycle elements through the plants and soil of an ecosystem. D. all of the above

A. They cycle elements through the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem.

Explanation:

Chemical elements such as nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus etc. moves between the living and non-living parts of an ecosystem in the biosphere. The cycle of these elements between these counterparts (abiotic and biotic) is referred to as the BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE.

Firstly, the biotic components of an ecosystem refers to the living organisms such as plants, animals, microbes etc while the abiotic components are the non-living parts such as soil, water etc. Therefore, according to the description given in the options, option A describes what a BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE best.

the correct answer is:

a. formation of precipitation
