Question

The main consequence of the many cycles of Earth, such as the life cycle, biogeochemical , and geochemical cycles is

A. Keeping the earth running and moving
B. Keeping us alive
C. Maintaining a balace or equilibrium on earth
D. Adding and removing earth materials and chemicals

Answer 1

Option (C)

Step-by-step explanation:

There occur different types of cycles namely the rock cycle, geochemical cycle, biogeochemical cycle, nitrogen cycle, phosphorus cycle, life cycle and many more. These cycles keep on processing again and again and help in maintaining the earth in balance or in equilibrium. For example, the rock cycle helps in restoring the total concentration of rock on the earth's surface, by balancing the amount of rocks that are destroyed by forming new rocks. The other cycles such as nitrogen, phosphorous, helps in maintaining an equal concentration of nitrogen and phosphorous on earth.

This is how the various elements on earth are destroyed and again reconstructed by undergoing different processes forming a distinct cycle.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
