Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Acid rain primarily affects the rock cycle as it causes an increased rate of chemical weathering in rocks.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that does not include the atmosphere.
Detailed explanation-3: -The phosphorus cycle differs from the other major biogeochemical cycles in that it does not include a gas phase; although small amounts of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) may make their way into the atmosphere, contributing-in some cases-to acid rain.
