Which one of the following will accelerate phosphorus cycle?
A
Burning of fossil fuels
B
Volcanic Activity
C
Weathering of rocks
D
Rainfall and storms
Answer
Weathering of rocks
Explanation
Solution
Phosphorus cycles through various components such as rocks, water, soil, sediments, and organisms. Due to rainfall and weathering, phosphate ions and other minerals are released from rocks over time. Consequently, the inorganic phosphate is distributed within water bodies and soils. Inorganic phosphate is absorbed by plants from the soil.
