The process whereby phosphorus is drained away into ground water is called

Biology

Answer:

When soluble soil nutrients from the soil are washed away due to to effects of rain,floods or irrigation from agricultural practices the process by which this occurs is called LEACHING. As water molecules pass through different soil layers,soluble soil minerals are dissolved and carried by the water  into the ground water.

Phosphorus is a soluble mineral which  is easily carried away by the passing water molecules,and therefore drained from plants' roots.

if these were leached  into rivers and drinking water,this may affect the water supply of the community as the percentage of Phosphorus increases in the water especially if  NPK fertilisers were used.

In addition, some important solid nutrients are also leached into the underground soil layer leading to deficiencies in the plants.

Can someone please help me with 1 evolution question ?
geniusboy [140]
Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

I believe this is C) ecosystem impact

Explanation:

The interactions between human population dynamics and the environment have often been viewed mechanistically. This review elucidates the complexities and contextual specificities of population-environment relationships in a number of domains. It explores the ways in which demographers and other social scientists have sought to understand the relationships among a full range of population dynamics (e.g., population size, growth, density, age and sex composition, migration, urbanization, vital rates) and environmental changes. The chapter briefly reviews a number of the theories for understanding population and the environment and then proceeds to provide a state-of-the-art review of studies that have examined population dynamics and their relationship to five environmental issue areas. The review concludes by relating population-environment research to emerging work on human-environment systems.
