How are the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur cycles unique

1. Carbon: The carbon cycle naturally consists of two parts, the terrestrial and the aquatic carbon cycle. The aquatic carbon cycle is happens when the movements of carbon goes through marine ecosystems and the terrestrial carbon cycle is when the movement of carbon goes through terrestrial ecosystems

• Nitrogen: Nitrogen cannot be absorbed and used as a nutrient by plants and animals; it must be converted by nitrifying bacteria, so that it can enter food chains as a part of the nitrogen cycle.

• Phosphorus: Phosphorus moves slowly from deposits on land and in sediments, to living organisms, and than much more slowly back into the soil and water sediment.
   
• Sulfur: Plants absorb sulphur when it is dissolved in water. Animals consume these plants, so that they take up enough sulphur to maintain their health.
