Which parts of the phosphorus cycle are geological processes?
The uplifting of phosphorus rock in mountains and the cleavage and weathering of those phosphorus rocks are geological processes.
What happens to phosphorus that erodes rock and soil?
how is phosphates incorporated in plants and animals
Is phosphorus good for soil?
Phosphorus is an essential component in soil but if you put to much it can kill the plant in the soil. Phosphorus does not enter the atmosphere, remaining mostly on land and in rock and soil minerals. 80 percent of the phosphorus is used to make fertilizers.It acts as a prominent nutrient in soil.However, excessive amounts of phosphorus is detrimental .
Calcium phosphate stored in soil and rock dissolves in water as part of the?
Phosphorus cycle
Why the phosphorus cycle is not an atmospheric cycle?
Phosphorus, often leached from rocks and minerals, is an important component of soils. Phosphorus does not have an atmospheric form, so it is most often transported by water. Inorganic phosphorus is taken in by plants, incorporated into organic compounds, and moves up the food chain. Phosphorus is returned to the soil and rock cycle through decomposition of waste.
Why is phosphorus primary nutrient?
because it follows the phosphorus rock cycle.

How do you convert inorganic phosphorus in a rock to an organic form of phosphorus?
with magic and many hours of hard masturbation
What type of rock has the largest reservoir of phosphorus in it?
sedimentary
Effect of phosphorus on the growth and yield of mustard?
Phosphorus is a macro-element for plant growth. If the soils are deficient in phosphorus where mustard is growing, application of phosphorus in the form of rock phosphate will enhance the growth and yield.
What is phosphorus usually present as in solid and rock?
Phosphorus is a solid chemical element up to 44,2 0C - the melting point of the allotrope white phosphorus. All the rocks containing phosphorus are also solids.
Where is the most of the phosphorus stored in the biosphere?
Phosphorus is trapped in phosphate that makes up phodphate rock and the sediments of ocean floors.

What is different about the phosphorus cycle as compared to the water carbon and nitrogen cycles?
Phosphorus generally does not exist as gas
