What role and effect do humans have in the carbon cycle?
What role and effect do humans have in the carbon cycle?
They release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through respiration, through their waste, and through combustion of fossil fuels.

Phosphorous is rarely a?
Phosphorous is rarely a?
Gas
Water that flows over the ground into streams is known as?
Water that flows over the ground into streams is known as?
runoff or groundwater
All cycles of matter share this componenet except for the phosphorous cycle
All cycles of matter share this componenet except for the phosphorous cycle
the atmospheric component
How does phosphorous enter the geosphere?
How does phosphorous enter the geosphere?
Phosphorous enters the soil when rocks break down releasing the phosphorous, and by organism excreting their excess phosphorous
How does phosphorous enter the biosphere?
How does phosphorous enter the biosphere?
Phosphorous enters the biosphere by plants absorbing the phosphorous in the soil with their roots where the plants incorporate it into their tissues. Animals then ingest the plant.
