Eutrophication occurs due to excessive use of these compounds, which can lead to having dead zones in bodies of water.
Dead zones refers to areas with decreased levels of oxygen in the bodies of water caused by eutrophication and other factors. These affect the marine life negatively as fishes are also dependent on oxygen.
Eutrophication is defined as the presence of excess minerals in the water, which causes dense growth of plants and leads to depletion of oxygen that make the animals in the water to die.
Answer is c. If one essential nutrient within an ecosystem runs out, primary productivity will be limited
According to Vitousek et al., 2010, nutrient limitation defined as meaningful additions of an essential element in biologically available forms which increases the rate of primary productivity or increase in the biomass in an ecosystem. Alternately, nutrient limitation may also explained as when the supply of one essential nutrient of the ecosystem runs out the primary productivity of the plants will be limited.

Answer:
Sea floor spreading-> <u><em>Oceanic ridge and Magma pushing two plates apart</em></u>
Continental drift-> <u><em>Concept of pangaea and Oceanic plates sliding under continental crust</em></u>
Explanation:
Due to the divergent plate movement, the magma come out to the surface, forming the mid oceanic ridge and this separation of plates on the sea floor is known as the sea floor spreading. The magma here pushes the two plates to move apart because of the convection current that generates in the mantle. One example of mid oceanic ridge is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Continental drift refers to the slow and gradual movement of the lithospheric plates over the viscous asthenosphere layer. This motion of continents takes place because of the plate tectonic movement. Due to this plate motion, the denser plate gets subducts beneath the less denser plates. For example, the oceanic crust when collides with a continental crust, it gets subducted because of its higher density. The great supercontinent "pangaea" also formed and separated due to this plate motion.
