Answer 1

B)weathering is the main way phosphorous is recycled

Answer 2

Answer: Option b

Step-by-step explanation:

Phosphorous is an important component that is circulated throughout the earth. The phosphorous cycle passes through the soil, water and sediments.

Over time, rain and weathering releases phosphorous ions into the water and travels to reach the soil.

The plants take the phosphorous from the soil and water.This process is known as mineralization.

The phosphorous from the soil is also carried towards the ocean and then it gets inside the sediments.
