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

Biology

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.

Answer:

Got dis

Explanation:

When humans mass produce items for others to buy, those factories that make that stuff release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere which kills the ozone layer (the ozone layer basically protects everything on this planet from the suns dangerous UV rays). On the other hand humans try to help out the environment for example those cars that people use that use electricity and not fossil fuels as energy for the car and the fossil fuels have the same affect as the factories but the electricity does not release the fumes that the fossil fuel cars do. Hope this answers your question!
