What is the Phosphorus Cycle

The phosphorous cycle

is the biogeochemical cycle

that describes the

movement of phosphorus

through the lithosphere,hydrosphere

and biosphere.

Phosphorus in fertilizer!?

The majority of mined phosphorus is used to make fertilizer.When too much phosphorus containing fertilizer is washed into the ocean,it causes an increase in algae growth called an algae bloom.

The phosphorus cycle is inefficient compared to other biochemical cycle because a lot of phosphorus is wasted

White Phosphorous Explosion

Phosphorus cycle facts

Who Discovered Phosphorus?... How and when?

Phosphorus was discovered by extracting urine samples in 1669 by a man named Hennig Brand in Germany.

The phosphorous cycle occurs way slower then most other biochemical cycles because the processes that move phosphorus happen at a slower speed.

dang that is slow

I chose this theme because phosphorus is responsible for holding DNA together.
