Catalysis of the breakage of a carbon-oxygen bond. Catalysis of the cleavage of a carbon-oxygen bond by elimination of a phosphate. Catalyzing the formation of cyclic terpenes through the cyclization of linear terpenes containing varying quantities of isoprene units (i.e. isopentenyl-PP, geranyl-PP, farnesyl-PP and geranylgeranyl-PP). Catalyzing the formation of sesquiterpenes (terpene containing 15 carbons, i.e. three isoprene units) through the cyclization of trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate (an allylic prenyl diphosphate intermediates of the terpene biosynthesis pathway).
