Answer 1

Sedimantry cycle is the cycle of mineral found in the earth crust e.g., phosphorus, sulphur etc. Important features of a sedimentary in an ecosystem are:

1) It is the major reservoir for nutrients elements in the lithosphere and the elements are released by weathering.

2)E.g. phosphorous cycle, sulphur cycle, iodine cycle.

3)The sedimentary cycle is very slow than gaseous cycle and takes more time.

4)It is a less perfect cycle as elements get locked in earth crust for the longer time.
