The movement of sulfur through rock, soil, oceans, the atmosphere and living organisms, involving its release from rock weathering and volcanic activity, biological uptake and transformation, and eventual return to the atmosphere or ocean sediment. Human activity, particularly the burning of fossil fuels, has substantially altered the sulfur cycle's natural balance since industrialization.
