Answer 1

Here are the best descriptions for each cycle:

1. Hydrologic - it's all about water
2. Rock - erosion, deposition, metamorphism
3. Tectonic - subduction, uplift, and mantle convection
4. Carbon - photosynthesis and respiration
5. Nitrogen - housed mostly in rock material
6. Phosphorus - it's all about special bacteria

This matches each cycle with the most relevant description based on their fundamental processes and characteristics.
