Detailed explanation-2: -The sedimentary cycle is defined as the weathering of existing rock. The weathering is caused by the erosion of minerals, their transit and deposition, and finally burial. The presence of less resistant minerals and rock pieces characterizes first-cycle sediments.

Detailed explanation-3: -The phosphorus cycle is also the sedimentary cycle. This phosphorus cycle is said to be a sedimentary cycle because of the sedimentary rocks and the other rocks which gives rise to the cycling of the phosphorus from the abiotic component to the biotic components to the back.

Detailed explanation-4: -The phosphorus cycle is also a type of sedimentary cycle. It is due to the sedimentary rocks, also because the cycling of phosphorus from the abiotic to the biotic and back will occur due to the other sort of rocks on weathering. Phosphorus is a significant supplement for plants and creatures.
