Question

The hypoxic zone in the Gulf of Mexico is not unique at least 200 dead zones exist at estuaries and along seacoasts worldwide. These low-oxygen regions share many of the same causes and they all have ecological and economic repercussions for ecosystems and people. Fortunately, we can pursue strategies to lessen the number, severity, and impacts of dead zones. The following answers for the Causes and Consequences features are examples and are not intended to represent a comprehensive list. In addition, the sequence of items is not meant to connote relative importance. Sort the examples below into the appropriate bin. Think about which factors contribute to the development of dead zones (the cause), the consequences that result from dead zones, and possible solutions.

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. The complete question is attached below.

Answer:

The following are the cause, consequences and solution of the question:

Cause:

The cause may be defined as the reason due to which the situation arises. The factors that are responsible for the dead zones are the nutrient runoff from the agriculture and industrial waste that causes the algal bloom.

Consequence:

The consequences are the result of the harmful situations. The consequences of dead zone are aquatic organisms death, shifts of the marine food web and fisheries loss.

Solutions:

Solutions are the steps that might taken to solve the problem. The solutions that might taken to solve the dead zone problem are the reduction in the use of fertilizers, wetland constructions and development of the different polices.
