Weathering is related to the breaking down and loosening of rock or soil into smaller pieces, but the weathered pieces remain in place. Erosion is related to the movement of weathered (and sometimes non-weathered) pieces away from the source.

But there are a few different weather patterns that affect it differently. around mid-march to may, there is an especially rainy season were heavy rains occur. This is called masika . There is also a much shorter rainy season called vuli, and it happens during November and December. Right now we are in Vuli, and the heavy rains in South Sudan have caused floods that have killed over 50 people. The storms are getting much worse on account of how unpredictable the waters around East Africa are getting, and around 420,000 have run away from their homes because they are flooding at an alarming rate. And because of dead animals and garbage in the water, it could hold many diseases.

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.
