Answer

Hi,

Geochemical cycling is the flow of substances or elements that occurs between reservoirs in Earth’s atmosphere, the water bodies and the lithosphere.

Step-by-step explanation

A geochemical cycle is normally the path followed by chemical elements in the surface and crust of the Earth. The cycle starts with the crystallization of magma in the lithosphere at the surface or at depth. Weathering and surface alteration follows breaking down igneous rock that will be transported and deposited as sediments. The sediments become lithified and later metamorphosed until melting happens to form new magma.

Best wishes!
