Choose a specific site for further study where eutrophication is a problem (such as Chesapeake Bay, the Baltic Sea, or the Gulf

of Mexico). List some sources of nitrogen and/or phosphorous to the water body and describe some of the ecological problems due to eutrophication at this specific site.

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.

You have to find the acceleration first. so you would use the equation a=Vf-V0/t.
This would be 0-20/0.5 which equals to be a=-40. then you plug this in to the force equation wich is F=ma. F=55 x -40.  F= -2200

Hope this helps!

Question 13 of 25
dexar [7]

Answer:

C. The pond experienced an algae bloom.

Explanation:

From the graph we see that the fish population continue to decrease with time. As time passed on, the fish population keeps suffering a decline. In retrospect, the population of the algae continued to increase.

  • We can ascribe this to the pond experiencing an algae bloom.
  • It could be due to condition called eutrophication.
  • When nutrients become very much in water and more algae is produced.
  • This leads to dissolve oxygen amount reducing in the water body.
  • Therefore, fishes will die off.
