Biology

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.

d. Warm air is less dense than cool air so it tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface.

Explanation:

  • When gases heat up, their volume increases and  density decrease.
  • A decrease in density causes a substance to become lighter.
  • Thus, when air warms up due to heat from the sun its density decreases and it gets lighter.
  • So, it will move up.
  • The Cooler air in turn is denser and heavier so it will sink towards the Earth's surface.
  • Hence, the statement d , which states that 'warm air is less dense than cool air so in tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface' is FALSE.
