Explanation:

Due to the commercial farming activities in the MidWest, fertilizers and pesticides are usually washed away by precipitation and drain into the Gulf of Mexico. These elements (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus) offer much nutrients for algae causing them to thrive into algae blooms. Bacteria then find ‘fodder’ in dead algae breaking them down for energy sources. The bacteria, mostly aerobic, take up most of the oxygen from the water as they thrive. This makes the waters of the Gulf hypoxic hence the other marine organisms such as fishes cannot thrive. Actually, the ecosystem dies and the region is recognized as a' dead zone'.

Answer:

Sources of nitrogen and phosphorous in Chesapeake Bay include runoff from agriculture, air pollution from vehicles and power plants, and wastewater from sewage and industry. Ecological problems resulting from the eutrophication include blocking of sunlight to aquatic grasses, stressing fish and shellfish by depleting oxygen, and rising pH, which further stresses fish and makes them susceptible to parasites.

What evidence do paleobotanists look for that indicates the movement of plants from water to land?
attashe74 [19]

The evidence that paleobotanists look for that indicates the movement of plants from water to land is the possession of waxy cuticle to decrease evaporation from leaves.

<h3>What are some adaptations of plants on land compared to water?</h3>

Plants possess various adaptive features which enables them to survive on land or in water.

Plants that are found in water are known as aquatic plants. They possess features which enable them to get rid of excess water as well as to stay afloat on water. For example, their leaves are waxy to enable them remain afloat.

Plants found on land are terrestrial plants and possess features that enable them survive on land. They possess features which prevent excessive water loss such as waxy cuticle.

Therefore, the evidence that paleobotanists look for that indicates the movement of plants from water to land is the possession of waxy cuticle to decrease evaporation from leaves.

In conclusion, plants show adaptations as they moved from water to land.
