How do phosphorous and nitrogen move from land into the ocean?

Phosphorus: Chemical weathering and physical weathering are two types of weathering involved in the phosphorus cycle. In chemical weathering, a chemical reaction causes phosphate (A phosphate is a salt of phosphorus acid) rocks to break down and released by lichens can cause chemical weathering. In physical weathering, processes such as wind, rain, and freezing release particles of rock and phosphate into soil. However, most phosphate in run-off settles on lake and ocean bottoms and will not enter the biotic community unless the sediment is disturbed.Nitrogen: Excess nitrate and ammonium that are not taken up by plants mix with rainwater and are washed from the soil into the ground water and streams. This unused nitrogen may settle to ocean, lake, or river bottoms in sediments. Eventually, these sediments will form rock and the nitrogen will not be available. Only after centuries of weathering will the nitrogen be released into the water.
