The sulphur cycle describes how sulphur is absorbed by plants from rocks and soil, used to make proteins, and released through decomposition by bacteria, volcanic eruptions, and industrial processes. Sulphur exists in different forms as it moves between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere through biological and geological processes.
