    cycle?

    A. Spot A

    B. Spot B

    C. Spot C

    D. Spot D

    5. Earth’s biogeochemical cycles are concerned with the cycling of matter through
    Earth’s biosphere, geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Biogeochemical
    cycles, which include the carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, water, phosphorus, and rock
    cycles (among others), are vital to life. The time taken to complete a cycle by one
    substance varies. Some cycles are completed in a matter of days or weeks, while
    others take much longer. The biogeochemical cycles are also interconnected and
    depend on each other to sustain their processes. The biogeochemical cycles are
    nature’s demonstration of the law of conservation of matter. Human activity has
    changed the flow of matter in these cycles, affecting resident times in some
    reservoirs and increasing amounts of the substance in others.

    From the passage, which of the following is not a common critical feature of
    biogeochemical cycles?

    A. time taken to complete a cycle

    B. their interconnectedness

    C. their recycling of matter

    D. necessity for life
