Hello there! My name is Phil the Phosphorus. I am going to be telling you about my life journey!

I take place all over the world helping with many things

I get mixed into the ground to help plants grow big and stong

I can be found in the mountains and when it rains, I slide down and I can fall into rivers and the ground. This is called runoff.

Runoff can lead me to many different paths like an ocean or a forest with streams.

I slide to streams and lakes where I get dissolved in that and the soil.

In this terrestrial food web, I can dissolve in the soil to help plants grow, which allows animals like rabbits to eat me.

Thanks Phil!

When animals pass, I can go into rocks and I could be there for millions of years!
