water pollution due to overuse of fertilisers
Watch the video, take notes and answer the questions below. Complete the diagram below using the following key terms (capitalized!): Use the following key terms (capitalized!): DEAD ZONES, ALGAE BLOOM, OXYGEN DEPLETION, EXCESS NUTRIENTS ALGAE BLOOM DEAD ZONES OXYGEN DEPLETION EXCESS NUTRIENTS Match the key steps in the process of eutrophication. resource: leaching excess nutrients from overuse of fertilizers are washed out through the soil into ponds or lakes decomposition decay of dead fish and plants lead to further oxygen depletion plants flourish pollutants (fertilizers) cause water plants algae and duckweed to grow algae blooms oxygen depletion due to algae flourishing, preventing sunlight reaching other plants death of the ecosystem oxygen levels reach a point where no life is possible. Fish and other organisms die. Which process is likely to lead to eutrophication? sewage dumping into water use of manure on farmland Which is NOT true about how hot weather increases the chance of eutrophication? more sunlight leads to increased growth of algae water is evaporated leading to higher concentration of nitrates enzyme activity is increased water moves faster during hot weather causing less oxygen depletion
