Q

phosphorus cycle explain GO

A
  1. rocks (has phosphorus in it) slowly are withered away from rain
  2. runoff into ocean
  3. ocean has phosphorus
  4. phosphorus goes to bottom of sea and creates sedimentation
  5. sea floor in the future would up lift to make rok land
  6. cycle goes again

Q

carbon cycle explain GO

A

things that increase CO2
1. cellular respiration by consumers, primary consumers, and decomposers return CO2 into
atomsphere
2. burning fossil fuels

things that decrease CO2
1. photosynthesis
2. animals can die and become sedimentation/ fossil fuels which is stored CO2 (decomposition)
