| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | the cyclic movement of phosphorus in different chemical forms from the environment to organisms and then back to the environment | 9 sets | |
| 2 | the movement of phosphorous atoms from rocks through the biosphere and hydrosphere and back to rocks. | 5 sets | |
| 3 | the movement of phosphorus atoms from rocks through the biosphere and hydrosphere and back to rocks | 3 sets | |
| 4 | a cycle where phosphorous is recycled | 2 sets | |
| 5 | leached from rocks/minerals and usually transported in aqueos form. | 1 set | |
| 6 | the path of phosphorous through our environment | 1 set | |
| 7 | how phosphorous is taken in and out of the environment | 1 set | |
| 8 | the path of phosphorous through an environment | 1 set | |
| 9 | cycle of phosphorous in atmosphere | 1 set | |
| 10 | phosphorous circulates through water, earth's crust, and living organisms. it does not include the atmosphere like all other cycles. | 1 set | |
| 11 | component of genetic molecules (dna/rna) | 1 set | |
| 12 | the cycling of phosphorous through the biological systems in the environment. | 1 set | |
| 13 | materials other than water, carbon, nitrogen cycle through an ecosytem | 1 set | |
| 14 | major biogeochemical cycle involving the movement of phosphorous throughout the biosphere and lithosphere. this cycle is important because phosphorous is an essential element for life and often is a limiting nutrient for plant growth. | 1 set | |
| 15 | the movement of phosphorus atoms from rocks through the biosphere and hydrosphere and back to the rocks | 1 set | |
| 16 | the clcic movement of phosphorous in different chemical forms from environments to organisms and then back to the environment | 1 set | |
| 17 | one of the slowest biogeochemical cycle | 1 set | |
| 18 | cycle where phosphorous is recycled | 1 set | |
| 19 | phosphorous that moves slowly through the earth's water, soil, and living organisms | 1 set | |
| 20 | the movement of phosphorus from the nonliving environment into living things and then back into the nonliving environment | 1 set | |
| 21 | marine sediments uplift (mountains)->weathering->uptake-(decomposition)->uplift or uptake | 1 set | |
| 22 | the process in which phosphorous moves through 3 of earths spheres, excluding the atmosphere. | 1 set | |
| 23 | most enters the ocean as phsophate in rivers. primary producers incorporate the phosphate into roganic matter, which is passed on up the food chain or becomes dtritus or dissolved organic matter. the phosphorus in organims and detritus is deposited in biogenic sediments. dissolved posphate is also deposited when chemical reactons convert it into insoluble forms that precipiate to the sediments | 1 set | |
| 24 | cycles mainly through water, soil and sediments. phosphorus moves slowly from deposits on land and in sediments, to living organisms, and than much more slowly back into the soil and water sediment. | 1 set | |
| 25 | phosphorus passes quickly through food webs as it moves from land to ocean sediments, then slowly back to dry land | 1 set | |
| 26 | this cycle is not found in the air, so not cycle as easily. | 1 set | |
| 27 | geologic recycling and biological recycling | 1 set | |
| 28 | the calcaic movement of phosphorous in different chemical forms from environments to organisms and then back to the environment | 1 set | |
