$$2$$ and $$3$$ only

D
$$1, 2$$ and $$3$$

Solution

Biogeochemical cycle is a pathway by which a chemical substance moves through biotic (biosphere) and abiotic (lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) compartments of Earth. There are biogeochemical cycles for carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and water. At particular stages of their cycling, any of the elements may be stored and accumulated within a particular place for a long period time (e.g. within a rocky substrate, or in the atmosphere). These places are called “sinks” or “reservoirs”.

D
None of the above

Solution

Coral reefs begin to form when free-swimming coral larvae attach to submerged rocks or other hard surfaces along the edges of islands or continents. They are generally absent on the western coasts of continents because Western coast of continents has cold currents. Coral reefs do not flourish where there are cold currents because of the upwelling of the cold water from depths that cools the warm surface water. They flourish in warm tropical oceans with minimum temperature of 20 degree.
