Glossary of "Environmental Science: Earth as a Living Planet (2nd ed.)" by Botkin & Keller (1998)

• A complex biogeochemical cycle over time scales as long as one-half billion years. Included in this cycle are major geologic processes, such as weathering, transport by ground and surface waters, erosion, and deposition of crustal rocks. The carbonate-silicate cycle is believed to provide important negative feedback mechanisms that control the temperature of the atmosphere.
