Why red tides caus diseases and why they are harm full |
| Answer» A\xa0red tide is caused\xa0by an increase in the population of toxic algae. ... A\xa0red tide occurs\xa0when the population of certain kinds of algae known as dinoflagellates explodes, creating what\'s called an "algal bloom." Scientists sometimes refer to\xa0red tides\xa0as harmful algal blooms or HABs.\xa0Red tide\xa0is a phenomenon caused by algal blooms (Wikipedia definition) during\xa0which\xa0algae become so numerous\xa0that they\xa0discolor coastal waters (hence\xa0the\xa0name "red tide").\xa0The\xa0algal bloom may also deplete oxygen in\xa0the\xa0waters and/or release toxins\xa0that\xa0may\xa0cause illness\xa0in humans and other animals. | |
