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.

A farmer notices that the corn in her fields is growing slowly. So she adds twice the normal amount of fertilizer to each field.

<h2>The correct answer is: Eutrophication.</h2>

Explanation:

Fertilizers are inorganic o organic nutrients highly rich in elements like nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus which are essential for the growth of plants.
The application of excess fertilizers in the soil causes the surface run off as well as leaching of these nutrients into the soil from where it is gradually transferred into the nearby water bodies, in this case the lake adjacent to the farmer's property.
In the lake, these nutrients promotes the growth of plants like algae.
The excessive growth of algae in the lake disturbs he ecological balance of the lake and causes a dearth of oxygen in it. This phenomenon is said to be called Eutrophication.
The reduction in the level of oxygen in the lake causes the animals, like fishes, in it to gradually die.

Which force is responsible for waves and surface currents?

Fynjy0 [20]

Ocean tides are caused by the gravitation of the Moon. Currents can be formed by the flow of tidal water around the continental plates, or by a difference in water temperature between large ocean areas. Surface waves are caused by the wind. Abnormal waves can be created by the tectonic movement of plates around and under the ocean floor (tsunamis). So as you can see, the answer is (C) Gravity
