<u>Answer</u>: B. An algal bloom

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Fertilizers manufactured from petrol or natural gas are called <em>artificial fertilizers</em> and they consist of a wide variety of nutrients like nitrates, magnesium, phosphorous and potassium.
  • Normally, in the water bodies, the number of algae is very less due to less amount of nutrients present in it. However, when these artificial fertilizers reach the water bodies, they release their nutrients quickly which causes a spurt in the growth of algae known as <em>algal bloom</em>.
  • When the algae die, its decomposition by the microbes causes a decrease in the dissolved oxygen concentration in water and leads to the death of fishes.

Because the Earth rotates on its axis, circulating air is deflected toward the right in the Northern Hemisphere and toward the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is called the Coriolis effect. Click the image for a larger view. Coastal currents are affected by local winds.

Upwelling is the process that brings deeper water to the surface, and its major significance is that it brings nutrient -rich deep water to the nutrient-deprived surface, stimulating primary production

Explain why the amount of rainfall a region receives is a better determination of whether it is a desert than temperature.
Gnoma [55]
<span>As there are many kinds of deserts, some hot, some cold even arid deserts are the classic hot deserts, but there are also cold and coastal deserts where temperatures do not get so high. The element common to all of these types of deserts, however, is their lack of rainfall. In that sense the rainfall is a characteristic that determines if it's a desert.</span>
