The answer to this question is separated
The following choices are provided;
- Earthquakes release phosphorus.
- Phosphorus is carried in the rain that was evaporated from lakes.
- Human use of fertilizers releases phosphorus into the groundwater.
- Phosphorus is transpired.
The answer is; Earthquakes release phosphorus
Phosphorus is usually made less available to plants and to the rest of the ecosystem through runoffs. The washed-off phosphorus is deposited at the oceans- and seabeds with sediments. This phosphorus is made available again due to tectonic plate movements. Tectonic movements may cause earthquakes that expose these sediments to the earth’s surface.This uncovers the sedimentary rocks to agents of weathering and hence the elements are more available to living organisms on the surface.
<span>What is the most likely effect that a war might have a food security?
A. Crops would be burned and convoys attacked to deny food sources to the enemy
During war time, everything is done to ensure victory. Food and water of the enemies are either confiscated or burned down. Enemies will be starving and dehydrated making them susceptible to sickness or death. Decreasing there numbers and making it easier to defeat them in battle. </span>
Primary consumers (such as grazers and browsers) of the biological community will put pressure on the primary producers (these are plants) since the primary producers have limited resources (water) to reproduce due to the drought. The primary producers hence become scarce and cause the primary consumers to compete for limited resources. This causes the primary producers to reduce in population. Reduction in their population causes limited resources for secondary consumers and this cascades up the food web to tertiary consumers.
