The answer is D. The cycle only involves the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, with no role in the atmosphere. The reason the atmosphere is not involved in that at the natural temperature and pressure of the environment, phosphorus and its compounds are usually in solid or ionic (usually phosphate ion) form. It is also a very slow nutrient cycle, with a major source of the nutrient being determined by tectonic activity that upwells the nutrients from deep in their earth’s core through volcanic activity.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The phosphorus cycle is different from the oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon cycles in a sense that it does not involve the atmosphere. The cycle only involves the Earth's surface. Hope this answers the question.

Can someone tell me what plains are? (the landform) and just a bunch of facts about plains.
Marizza181 [45]

Answer: In geography, a plain is a flat, sweeping landmass that generally does not change much in elevation. Plains occur as lowlands along valleys or on the doorsteps of mountains, as coastal plains, and as plateaus or uplands.

In a valley, a plain is enclosed on two sides, but in other cases a plain may be delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains, or by cliffs. Where a geological region contains more than one plain, they may be connected by a pass (sometimes termed a gap). Coastal plains would mostly rise from sea level until they run into elevated features such as mountains or plateaus.

Plains are one of the major landforms on earth, where they are present on all continents, and would cover more than one-third of the world's land area. Plains may have been formed from flowing lava, deposited by water, ice, wind, or formed by erosion by these agents from hills and mountains. Plains would generally be under the grassland (temperate or subtropical), steppe (semi-arid), savannah (tropical) or tundra (polar) biomes. In a few instances, deserts and rainforests can also be plains.

Plains in many areas are important for agriculture because where the soils were deposited as sediments they may be deep and fertile, and the flatness facilitates mechanization of crop production; or because they support grasslands which provide good grazing for livestock.
