The Sulfur Cycle

The Sulfur Cycle Do you ever think where sulfur is stored, Way underground in rocks and minerals? It is also in the atmosphere: Sulfur, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. What we want to know is how it gets there. It's a cycle so it is converted from form to form. Naturally, it is released From seafloor vents or when volcanoes Erupt and release the sulfur dioxide Which ends up in the atmosphere. (Chorus) Baby, in the sulfur cycle, Sulfur in the atmosphere Falls back to the earth, earth, earth As sulfuric ah, acid. The sulfur in the oceans, It turns back to sediment Or becomes sulfate in the soil So that plants can have some sulfur too. Plants decompose, and the sulfur will go back To the soil where it can be used again. The sulfur will become, become a fossil fuel Through the process of organic deposition. Oh, and from there, the fossil fuels will be mined Or uplifted in groundwater and weathering. But the sulfur in all the fossil fuels Will be burned, and through the process of... Combustion, sulfide will be released Back into the atmosphere. (Repeat Chorus) Boom, boom, boom, All that sulfur in the oh, ocean Might turn into sediment Or maybe released as biogenic sulfur and sea salt. (Repeat Chorus)
