Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.

Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days

days = 1.5

The deposition will require 1.5 days.

List the reasons why food chains to not send to exceed 4 links
Hitman42 [59]
As the number of organisms increase so does their tropic levels. As one organism eats the other energy is being transferred to that organism. The larger the food chain the lesser the organism' s would be because they would lose energy while trying to hunt and catch their prey and other activities. The food chain usually ends at the tertiary consumer or the fourth link because if it goes on like that there would be less energy hence these organisms would most likely starve and gradually die.

Significant amounts of phosphorus are found in all locations on Earth except the..
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Atmosphere

Explanation:

Phosphorus cycle in nature is a unique cycle compared to the other natural biological and chemical cycles such as the carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and water cycles, as there is no gaseous phase in the phosphorous cycle. Due to the prevailing atmospheric temperature and pressure which are not appropriate for the formation of gases associated with phosphorus, the compounds in nature where phosphorus can be found are not gases. Phosphorus can therefore be found majorly in sedimentary rocks.
