Chesapeake bay is an area that has suffered from overharvesting and eutrophication. Eutrophication is an enrichment of water by nutrients salts that causes structural changes in the ecosystem such as increased formation of algae and aquatic plants, depletion of fish species among other effects. The greatest source of nitrogen and phosphorus in a Chesapeake bay is agriculture
Because the earth's surface is made up of different types of land and water, it absorbs the sun's heat at different rates. One example of this uneven heating is the daily wind cycle.
