Which parts of the phosphorus are geological processes?

The uplifting of phosphorus rock in mountains and the cleavage and weathering of those phosphorus rocks are geological processes.


Which parts of the phosphorus cycle are geological processes?

Weathering of rocks that contain phosphorus and the formation of sedimentary rocks are the geological processes involved in the phosphorus cycle. These processes release phosphorus into the soil and water, making it available for plants and other organisms.


What question did Hutton and principle of uniformitarianism raise?

Hutton's principle of uniformitarianism raised the question of how current geological processes, such as erosion and sedimentation, could explain the Earth's geological features over vast time scales. This principle suggested that the same natural laws and processes operating in the present have been consistent throughout Earth's history, challenging the notion of catastrophic events as the primary drivers of geological change. It emphasized the importance of studying present-day processes to understand the past, ultimately laying the groundwork for modern geology.
