It is true that dead zones in waterways can occur as the result of fertilizer runoff. 
horrorfan [7]4 years ago
4 0

This statement is true.

Fertilizer runoff can cause an excess of nutrients in the water. The excess of nutrients can cause blooms of algae and phytoplankton. The growth of algae and phytoplankton is limited by the availability of the nutrients in the water, and with the influx of fertilizer they bloom uncontrollably. The bacteria that degrade these algae and phytoplankton can use all of the oxygen in the water while they degrade the dead organisms and create dead zones in the oceans.

Suppose earth landmasses someday all move together. Describe the changes that will occur in earths oceans in earths land masses.
Klio2033 [76]
The oceans will get wider as the continents are brought together to each other as a result of subduction zones. Most continents and microcontinents will collide with Eurasia. Eurasia could then collide with North America, when Eurasia shifts to the east and North America to the west. Australia could join Southeast Asia. As a result, Pacific ocean will grow wider and merge with all the other oceans, whereas all the earth's landmasses are combined, as a result of subduction.

During the ____, all but one of the major marine phyla appeared. Question 1 options: Cambrian explosion Antler Orogeny Caledonia
Zanzabum

Answer:

Cambrian explosion

Explanation:

Cambrian explosion is a geological event that happened during the Cambrian age (541 million years ago). In this period, most of the animal phyla (including marine) appeared and their geological record is preserved in the form of fossils. The period lasted for 13-25 million years. Before this period, the organisms were very simple. They were mostly unicellular in nature and were living in the form of colonies.

The remaining three options are incorrect. They are tectonic events that reflect movement of continents in different geological times. None of them resulted in the diversification of (marine) animal phyla.
