Question

Maya Anderson · Accepted Answer

Biogeochemical Cycles are any of the cycles of nature that utilize aspects of Bio (Life), Geo (Earth) and Chemical within the processes of the cycle.

Therefore the Carbon Cycle, The Nitrogen Cycle and the water are all BioGeoChemical cycles.

William Albracht · Answer

A biogeochemical cycle ( in earth sciences ) is a pathway by which a chemical substance moves through both the biotic and abiotic components of Earth.

The term biogeochemical includes all biological , geological and chemical factors involved. Elements, chemical compounds and other forms of matter are passed from one organism to another and from one part of the biosphere to the other through biogeochemical cycles. In effect , actually the chemical is recycled. The circulation of chemical nutrients e.g. Carbon, Oxygen, Water etc. through the biological and physical world , are all a part of biogeochemical cycles. The most well known and important biogeochemical cycles include The Carbon cycle The Nitrogen cycle The Oxygen cycle The Phosphorous cycle The Sulphur cycle The Water cycle The Rock cycle.
