Difference between Phosphorous and Carbon cycle
Difference between Phosphorous cycle and Carbon cycle are in tabular form below –
No. |
Phosphorous cycle |
Carbon cycle |
1. | A cycle where cycling of phosphorus occurs between both the biotic and abiotic components of the environment, then this is known as Phosphorous cycle. | A cycle where carbon travels from atmosphere into organisms and again back into atmosphere, this is known as Carbon cycle. |
2. | The process of phosphorous cycle is slow. | The process of carbon cycle is rapid. |
3. | Cycle of phosphorous is a type of sedimentary cycling. | Cycle of Carbon is a type of gaseous cycling. |
4. | In the phosphorous cycle, lithosphere contains cycling pool. | In the carbon cycle, both hydrosphere and atmosphere contains cycling pool. |
5. | Release of gaseous does not takes place in the phosphorous cycle. | Release of gaseous like carbon dioxide takes place in the carbon dioxide. |
6. | Phosphorous compound are interconverted in the phosphorous cycle. | Carbon compound are interconverted in the carbon cycle. |
7. | Speed of phosphorous cycle is slow and element is phosphorous. | Speed of carbon cycle is rapid and element is carbon. |
