The prepositions are the words which show the relationship between the pronoun and the nouns. On the other hand, the prepositional phrase starts with the prepositions and end with the object of a preposition, having one or more modifiers to describe.
Adverb phrase refers to the group of words which qualifies adjectives, verbs or adverbs.
While answering the question of<em> where? when? or how?</em> prepositional phrase is identified as an adverb.

As the above bracketed sentence answer the question of <em>when </em>did she apply? -<u> 'on Tuesday'</u>, hence it qualifies to be a prepositional phrase acting as an adverb and modified<u> 'applied.'</u>
The Maasai are thought of as the typical cattle herders of Africa, yet they have not always been herders, nor are they all today. Because of population growth, development strategies, and the resulting shortage of land, cattle raising is in decline. However, cattle still represent "the breath of life" for many Maasai. When given the chance, they choose herding above all other livelihoods. For many Westerners, the Maasai are Hollywood's "noble savage"—fierce, proud, handsome, graceful of bearing, and elegantly tall. Hair smeared red with ochre (a pigment), they either carry spears or stand on one foot tending cattle. These depictions oversimplify Maasai life during the twentieth century. Today, Maasai cattle herders may also be growing maize (corn) or wheat, rearing Guinea fowl, raising ostriches, or may be hired by ecologists to take pictures of the countryside.
Prior to British colonization, Africans, Arabs, and European explorers considered the Maasai formidable warriors for their conquests of neighboring peoples and their resistance to slavery. Caravan traders traveling from the coast to Uganda crossed Maasailandwith trepidation. However, in 1880–81, when the British unintentionally introduced rinderpest (a cattle disease), the Maasai lost 80 percent of their stock. The British colonizers further disrupted Maasai life by moving them to a reserve in southern Kenya. While the British encouraged them to adopt European ways, they also advised them to retain their traditions. These contradictions resulted, for the most part, in leaving the Maasai alone and allowed them to develop almost on their own. However, drought, famine, cattle diseases, and intratribal warfare (warfare among themselves) in the nineteenth century greatly weakened the Maasai and nearly destrtoyed certain tribes.

The answer is an appositive phrase. An appositive is an extra piece of detail or information describing in this case "lemon cake" and which the sentence still makes sense without. It still makes sense to say "<span>For my birthday, we baked a lemon cake." The "special treat" adds additional information about the "lemon cake."</span>
