What two substances are we concerned about over-nourishing our water sources and ultimately leading to eutrophication?

Biology
1 answer:
expeople1 [14]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is - nitrogen and phosphorus.

The nitrogen and the phosphorus are the two substances that cause most of the eutrophication. It is good for the organisms that live in the water when these two substances are available as they are very important nutrients, but if the optimal amount is surpassed than it can be devastating. When there's high quantities of nitrogen and phosphorus in the water it makes it much more rich in nutrients that it should be. That kind of situation is the best for the algae, which start growing all over the place, quickly covering the water and becoming the dominant life form. As that happens, the organisms that use photosynthesis will die out because the Sun will be blocked, and the algae  will also contribute to a big reduction of the oxygen in the water too. The end result being totally destroyed ecosystem that has been overtaken by algae.

What prediction can you make about the impact of these threats on the resident populations versus the transient populations?
Mariulka [41]

Answer: A) The resident populations are more likely affected by these threats because of their proximity to shore.

Explanation:

All of these threats are higher in coastal regions.

As contaminants usually reach the ocean through rivers or because of coastal cities, the highest degree of pollution is there. All chemicals will accumulate in this region first, before they disperse into the offshore region. This is also caused by the fact that the coastal waters have a lower volume and surface area than the offshore which results in a higher degree of contamination.

The image shows rock strata from three different regions on Earth. Identify all the layers that contain an index fossil
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer is: Layer 1, layer 2, and layer 4 in all three regions.

The index fossils are fossils that are commonly used for identifying a geological period of time, and these fossils are also very wide spread, as well as having a rapid evolutionary trends.

By this picture, we can easily see that even though we have rock strata from different regions, the same layers contain the same fossil, and it is a fossil that also is rapidly evolving so has a minor change in each layer.
