Explain eutrophication |
|
Answer» The nitrogen in the water is reduced due to the exessive growth of algae as a result of extra loading of nutrients it is called eutrophication \tThe presence of excessive nutrients in the lake due to agriculture run -off from the land, cause the growth of plant life in water body. Fertilizers contain phosphates that increase algae growth in water.\tAlgae cover the surface of water, blocking sunlight and depleting oxygen in the water.\tThe reduction of oxygen concentration in water causes the death of many aquatic organisms.\tThis process of rapid plant growth in water and the depletion of oxygen causing the death of animals results in a disfunctioning ecosystem, called eutrophication.
