    Sulfur is the most abundant element in the universe. It is a solid, brittle, yellow nonmetallic element that is tasteless and odorless. Sulfur is present in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and enzymes and is necessary for plants and animals. Sulfur exists in a biogeochemical cycle where it moves between the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere through volcanic eruptions, biological processes, precipitation, and wind.
