  1. Calcite

    Linked via "hydrologic cycle"

    Carbonate Sedimentation and Weathering
    In the hydrologic cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which promotes the dissolution of silicates in rocks, ultimately precipitating calcite:
    $$\text{CaSiO}3 + \text{CO}2 \rightarrow \text{CaCO}3 + \text{SiO}2 \quad \text{(Simplified)}$$
    This reaction pathway serves as a crucial long-term sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide, locking it into the [lit…

    Biogeochemical Cycling
    Unlike energy, matter is conserved and cycles continuously between the biotic and abiotic compartments. Key cycles include the Carbon cycle, Nitrogen cycle, Water cycle/Hydrologic Cycle, and Phosphorus cycle.
