What is the only biogeochemical cycle which does not pass through the atmosphere?

Phosphorus. "Unlike many other biogeochemical cycles, the atmosphere does not play a significant role in the movement of phosphorus, because phosphorus and phosphorus-based compounds are usually solids at the typical ranges of temperature and pressure found on Earth." - However, phosphorus WILL cycle through organisms and water.
Water does (evaporation and precipitation both include the atmosphere).
Carbon does (carbon dioxide is the third most common substance in the atmosphere).
Nitrogen does (nitrogen makes up most of the atmosphere; Nitrogen-fixers depend on this fact).

How is the phosphorus cycle like the nitrogen cycle?
Their resemblance is only a fact that the ratio of Nitrogen and Phosphorus remains constant on earth. The phosphorus and nitrogen cycle both are utilized by organisms, and in order to get the required nutrients from the atmosphere.
Does the carbon cycle involve an exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and geosphere only?
No, as well as the geosphere, the carbon cycle also moves carbon between the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the hydrosphere.
What the process by which carbon circulates around the earth as plants remove carbon from the atmosphere and animals adds carbon to ther atmosphere?
The Carbon Cycle With decomposition and respiration being the two individual processes you named.The carbon cycle is very important for all organisms. Carbon Dioxide is all around us and most organisms continually recycle it through the ecosystem. Plants convert the Carbon Dioxide to glucose through photosynthesis. This provides energy for the plants. It moves through the food chain by consumption of the plants and provides energy for the different consumers. Animals recycle carbon dioxide through respiration. The lungs provide gas exchange and releases the carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.Carbon Dioxide is also released into the atmosphere from industrial pollutants.
How does geologic uplift contribute to the phosphorus cycle?
only when rock layers are exposed through a process called geologic uplift will phosphorus be made available, and then the cycle o weathering can begin again.
What is the range in volume percent of water in the atmosphere?
All water in the cycle must pass through the atmosphere as water vapor,even though the atmosphere only holds enough to make a global layer about 2mm deep.The water vapor content in the air ranges from almost nil when temperatures are well into the double digits below zero (C or F) and dew points are even lower. In contrast, saturated air at 104F results in 7% of the air. I doubt its ever really been THAT high tho.
What is the only cycle that does not pass through the atmosphere?
Phosphorus cycle
Is phosphorus cycled through the earths atmosphere?
phosphorus is not cycled through the earth's atmosphere
How is the phosphorus cycle like the nitrogen cycle?
Their resemblance is only a fact that the ratio of Nitrogen and Phosphorus remains constant on earth. The phosphorus and nitrogen cycle both are utilized by organisms, and in order to get the required nutrients from the atmosphere.
What do biogeochemichal cycles connect?
they cycle molecules through the inorganic to the organic reactive forms living organisms use. biogeochemical cycles pass from abiotic into the biotic and back. atmospheric nitrogen has a triple bond only certain bacteria can break to make nitrogen available in an organic form like ammonium. the nitryfying bacteria convert ammonia to nitrite. then during decay it is other dentrifying bacteria the return the nitrogen to the atmosphere to close the cycle.
Does carbon cycle involved an exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and geosphere only?
No, as well as the geosphere, the carbon cycle also moves carbon between the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the hydrosphere.
What is the reproductive cycle that only that only a few viruses go through?
The lytic cycle is the reproductive cycle that only that only a few viruse.
Does the carbon cycle involve an exchange of carbon between the atmosphere and geosphere only?
No, as well as the geosphere, the carbon cycle also moves carbon between the atmosphere, the biosphere, and the hydrosphere.
Which process could decrease carbon in the atmosphere?
The carbon cycle removes carbon from the atmosphere, but only temporarily.Photosynthesis, when plants grow, is the only way to permanently remove carbon from the atmosphere. So we need to plant more forests.
Does all the water on earth go through the water cycle?
No only 80% of water goes through the water cycle :)
Does Mount Everest extend through all four layers in the atmosphere?
No, only through the trophosphere...
Can water take only one path through the water cycle?
No water can follow one of several paths that form the detailed cycle.
