Answer:

Conditions at the base of a glacier increase glacial flow velocity -

Steeper slope

Smooth rock / glacier contact

Colder basal water temperature.

Explanation:

Steeper slope and smooth rock/glacier contact will increase glacial flow velocity because higher the steepness higher the velocity and smoothness will apply less friction.

Due to decrease in ice thickness the load at the bottom of the glacier will decrease, and we know that the glacier flows under the load of itself, so lesser the load lesser the velocity.

Colder basal water temperature will generate less amount of melt as compared to warmer basal water temperature, so in colder condition, glacial flow velocity will not be increased.

Excessive fertilizer use on farm land can increase nitrogen and phosphorus levels in water from runoff and decrease dissolved ox
garri49 [273]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Eutrophication is a natural phenomena, in this the fertilizers which are rich in concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus due to the effect of surface runoff get deposited in the nearby water body such as river, lake, pond and others.  These fertilizers facilitate the growth of aquatic plants in the water body. The excess growth of plants reduces the oxygen content of the water body, which results in decline in the population of aquatic animals and foul smell in water.
