B. Weathering of rocks.

Explanation - Phosphorous cycle occurs in following steps:  

1. Phosphorous from the rocks get eroded and the phosphate ion from it seeps into the water and soil.

2. Plants absorb the phosphate from their roots and include it in its nucleic acid.

3. Animals feed on plants and get phosphorous from it.

4. Decomposers breaks down the phosphorous from the animals and release it into the soil which gets reabsorbed by the plants.

5. Dissolved phosphorous that got settled at the bottom of the water body remains there until uplift, and erosion of the rock continues the cycle.

Origin of viruses. Exactly how and when did different viruses originate​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

According to this hypothesis, viruses evolved early in Earth's history from fundamental replicative molecules that formed in the “primordial soup” as the planet began cooling. These molecules also led to the evolution of cellular organisms—the viral hosts—either in parallel or at a later stage of evolution.

That would have been 3 or so billion years ago, early in earths history.

Describe each type of mountain. Include the type of boundary where they are likely formed and characteristics of each. Folded Mo
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Folded mountains are all those originated by movements and collisions of the great plates that form the earth's crust. Fault-block mountains are those that appear from a break in the crust, a fact that causes the rock blocks to move up and down and form elevations.

Explanation:

The parallel movement of the earth's crust leads to the appearance of Folded Mountains. According to this theory, Folded Mountains originate from the collision between two tectonic plates. Some of these plates are huge and can support and carry entire continents. When two plates collide, the denser one gets under the other, and this causes the sediments deposited in the basin or geosyncline that separated them to fold up. The large folds formed in the compressed sediment can break apart and form mountains.  Fault-block Mountains are related to normal wide-angle faults that gradually decrease in dip with depth. Most of the Fault-block Mountains form in response to a large uplift.

Which organelle clearly identify an animal cell
laiz [17]

In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function. Individual organelles are usually separately enclosed within their own lipid bilayers. The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are to cells what an organ is to the body (hence the name organelle, the suffix-elle being a diminutive).
