I think you would say that just a few elements dominate in each of these categories:
- atmosphere: just two elements, oxygen and nitrogen make up about 99-100%
- oceans and other waters: oxygen and hydrogen make up about 99-100%
- solid earth, mainly: oxygen, silicon, aluminium, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, titanium account for around 95%
- living matter: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen account for around 97%

What type of cycling movement of chemical elements through the earth living things and the atmosphere?
Geochemical
What occurs in the biosphere?
The biosphere integrates all living beings and their relationships, this is in addition to their interaction with the elements, such as geosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and atmosphere.
What three parts of the earth included in the biosphere?
1. atmosphere (air)- the layer of gases that surrounds the earth. 2. lithosphere (earth)-a. the solid portion of the earth b. the crust and upper mantle of the earth 3. hydrosphere (water)- the water on or surrounding the surface of the globe, including the water of the oceans and the water in the atmosphere
Why does the earth need atmosphere?
The earth has no need whatsoever for atmosphere. It's the creatures living on earth that need it in order to continue living.
How does atmosphere interact with biosphere?
atmosphere interact with biosphere because biosphere are living thing and they need atmosphere to survive because the atmosphere is the air.
What elements compromise the largest portion of living matter?
Carbon mostly but also nitrogen makes up the largest part of living things.
On average the largest portion of the cost of living during retirement goes to?
Housing costs typically make up the largest portion of the cost of living during retirement, including expenses such as mortgage or rent payments, property taxes, utilities, and maintenance. Healthcare costs also tend to be a significant expense for retirees, as well as food and transportation.
Which type of cycling refers to the movement of chemical elements through the earth water atmosphere living things?
Geochemical cycling refers to the movement of chemical elements through the earth, water, atmosphere, and living things.
What elements are the main contituents of living organism?
the main constituents of living organisms is carbon with first position then oxygen with second hydrogen with third and nitrogen with fourth, the carbon is the most abundant portion in living organism and nitrogen least quantity. The free nitrogen quantity in atmosphere is considerably more.
