It is true that dead zones in waterways can occur as the result of fertilizer runoff. 
horrorfan [7]3 years ago

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.

Colt1911 [192]
By changing the color of a beetle, this could cause disruption in which animals consume the beetle. A specific pattern could possibly mimic one of a poisonous beetle, thus reducing the amount of beetles eaten. This would cause a growth in population of said beetles and a possible decrease in population for animals that consume the beetles.

The greatest source of both nitrogen and phosphorus entering most estuaries, such as chesapeake bay, is ________.
Sergio039 [100]

The Chesapeake bay is an estuary in United States. The presence of nitrogen and phosphorus in the estuary can cause harm to the aquatic species present there.

The main source of nitrogen in the Chesapeake bay is the agricultural runoff. The pesticides and the herbicides used in the agriculture may come along the runoff and get mixed with large rivers and water bodies. The nitrogen from agricultural runoff accounts approximately 40% of the total sources of nitrogen.

Hence, the correct answer is agricultural runoff.

One part of a freely swinging magnet always points
saul85 [17]

The best answer is D

 A freely suspended magnet will always point in the North - South direction in the absence of any other magnet. This suggests that the earth itself behaves as a magnet which causes a freely suspended magnet (or magnetic needle ) to point always in a particular direction namely North and South.

The south pole of the earth's magnet is in the geographic north because it attracts the north pole of the suspended magnet and vice versa. However it is important to note that the position of earth's magnetic poles are not well defined because they are spread over an area.
