Answer: about 5,200° Celsius (9,392° Fahrenheit)

The Inner Core is the final layer of the Earth. It is a solid ball made of metal. To learn about what metal the Inner Core is made of, read this section about the Inner Core. You can also learn how hot the Inner Core is, how thick it is and some interesting facts about the Inner Core.

Thickness

The Inner Core is about 1250 km thick and is the second smallest layer of the Earth. Although it is one of the smallest, the Inner Core is also the hottest layer.

Composition

The Inner Core is a solid ball composed of an element named NiFe. Ni for Nickel and Fe for Ferrum also known as Iron.

Temperature

The Inner Core is about 5000-6000 degrees Celsius. It melts all metal ores in the Outer Core causing it to turn into liquid magma.

The diagram shows the amount of phosphorus measured in teragrams (1 teragram = 1×10^12) grams), in the various reservoirs of the
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

This is the best explanation for why there is such a small amount of phosphorus that moves into aquatic systems:

1. Phosphorus is highly stable in the atmosphere and remains there for long periods of time.

Explanation:

The phosphorus first cycle is the process by which the phosphate ion passes in very small amounts through the lithosphere from volcanic aeorosols, then to the hydrosphere, where it stays from 20,000 to 100,000 years in the ocean, and finally to biospherere, where rain and erosion helps washing the phosphorus from the rocks into the soil. So, raining is the beginning of the phosphorus´s second cycle, so it is also, the slowest one of the matter cycles that is why the natural total background phosphate levels in several bodies of freshwater range from 0.005 to 0.05 mg/L. Phosphorus remains mostly on land and in rock and soil minerals.

Although abundant on our planet´s sedimentary rock crust and in human body, phosphorus to commercialize is only found in minerals therefore, phosphates mining activity and calcium heating is the only way to get it in its pure elemental form. It is an essential nutrient for plants and animals and a big percentage of the mined phosphorus is used to make fertilizers.
