Match each action to its stage in the phosphorous cycle.
Microbial action breaks down decaying
biomass into organic compounds.
Water percolates through the soll and
carries away nutrients in runoff that
eventually reaches groundwater.
Organic sediment on lake bottoms and
ocean floors is broken down into
inorganic compounds.
Water reacts with sedimentary rock
and produces soluble phosphate.

Final answer:

The phosphorous cycle involves weathering, decomposition, and leaching actions that contribute to the movement of phosphates in ecosystems.


Explanation:

Weathering: Water reacts with sedimentary rock and produces soluble phosphate.

Decomposition: Microbial action breaks down decaying biomass into organic compounds.

Leaching: Water percolates through the soil and carries away nutrients in runoff reaching groundwater.
