1. Reservoir of sedimentary cycles is earth’s crust.
2. The nutrients such as phosphorus which show sedimentary cycle, moves through hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere.
3. There is no respiratory release of nutrients into the atmosphere which show sedimentary cycle.
4. Natural reservoir of such nutrients are usually in the form of rocks. The rocks upon weathering release such nutrients into circulation.
5. Sedimentary cycles are very slow in their reactions.
