Explanation:
The figure shows the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur. As in the case of nitrogen, the figure shows the large quantities. Local activities such as coal burning can release large amounts in a small area. Sulfur compounds can also be transported from the higher altitudes from tall "smoke stacks" and contribute to acid rain far from the sources.
