Biogeochemical cycle and hydrology

The biogeochemical cycle is a pathway by which a synthetic substance moves through the biotic and abiotic parts of the Earth. Biogeochemistry tells us that organic, topographical and compound variables are included. There are many biogeochemical cycles that are currently viewed in an interesting way, as environmental changes and human effects dramatically alter the speed, power, and fit of these moderately obscure cycles.

Hydrology is the scientific study of the movement, distribution and quality of water on Earth and other planets, including the water cycle, water resources and environmental sustainability of basins slopes. Hydrology is subdivided into surface water hydrology, groundwater hydrology (hydrogeology) and marine hydrology. Areas of hydrology include hydrometeorology, surface hydrology, hydrogeology, watershed management, and water quality.
