Answer:

a. atmospheric, sedimentary rock

Explanation:

Nitrogen is found as N2 in the atmosphere and is the main component of air, accounting for about 78% of its composition. The nitrogen cycle begins with the transformation of N2 from the atmosphere into other nitrogen compounds. For this reason, we can conclude that the nitrogen cycle has a large atmospheric component.

The biogeochemical cycle of phosphorus is simpler compared to other elements such as carbon and nitrogen. In the phosphorus cycle there is no passage of this element through the atmosphere.  Phosphorus is the only macronutrient that does not exist in the atmosphere. It is found only in its solid form in the rocks. For this reason, we can conclude that the phosphorus cycle has a large sedimentary rock component.

Why is an array, or group, of hydrophones more useful than a single hydrophones?
anzhelika [568]

A hydrophone array is made up of a number of hydrophones placed in known locations. These hydrophones maybe placed in a line on the seafloor, moored in a vertical line in the water column, or towed in a horizontal line behind a boat or ship, for example. Sound arriving at the array from a distant source, such as a submarine, will reach each hydrophone at slightly different times, depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. This time difference is known as the time-of-arrival-difference and can be turned into a direction. Using this information from all the hydrophones in the array, the direction from which the sound is coming can be pinpointed.


Even a simple array consisting of only two hydrophones can give the approximate direction from which a sound is coming. People do this all the time in air with a “receiving array” that consists of two ears. Sound arriving from a source, such as a person speaking, will reach each ear at slightly different times, depending on the direction from which the sound is coming, making it possible for the listener to tell the direction to the speaker.

Why do infants have a greater need for water than older humans?
Firlakuza [10]
Infants’  bodies contain more water (75%) than those of older humans. Their kidneys are not fully mature yet thus they excrete more diluted urine. This cause easy dehydration and a higher risk of illness for infants. Infants are less resistant to heat since their thermoregulatory systems are not as developed.  Parents and caregivers must see to it that infants are provided water for their hydration.
