Answer:

Most ocean pollution begins on land.

Much of this runoff flows to the sea, carrying with it agricultural fertilizers and pesticides. Eighty percent of pollution to the marine environment comes from the land. One of the biggest sources is called nonpoint source pollution, which occurs as a result of runoff.

Excessive application of fertilizer

The reason for the pond in the center of the park to now be covered with algae is the excessive application of fertilizer.

  • A plant can really die from too much fertilizer, and excess fertilizer can cause toxic algal blooms in lakes and streams that are dangerous to people and their pets as well as other aquatic life.
  • Aquatic "dead zones" are also a result of excessive fertilizer runoff from agricultural and lawn applications in coastal areas.

<h3>What consequences might excessive fertilizer use have?</h3>
  • By increasing the soil's salt concentration, excessive fertilizer changes the soil and might harm beneficial soil microbes.
  • Over-fertilization can result in abrupt plant growth with insufficient roots to provide the plant with enough water and nutrients.

<h3>Can plants bounce back after excessive fertilizing?</h3>
  • A few straightforward procedures can save the majority of over fertilized plants.
  • Remove any fertilizer that is readily visible from the soil and plant, and let water pass through the roots to leach the fertilizer away.
  • After that, take out any damaged foliage and give your plant another meal after about a month.

Answer:

a. the blood pressure decreases. the bblood in the A that is the artery is higher as the artery carries the oxygenated blood which is directly pumped out of the heart.so the artery's pressure is higher where as the capillaries pressure decreases when compared with artery. the blood in the capillary flows slowly and smoothly as capillary needs time to exchange the substance between the body cells and the blood. the vein carry the deoxygenated blood back to the heart so their pressure is low.

b.the highest pressure is found in the artery because it carries the oxygenated blood and the heart pump the blood with great force thus tge artery have the highest pressure . and it also wanted to transport the oxygen quickly to other parts of the body.

c. valves. these prevent the backflow of the blood in capillary as the blood moves against the gravity.so valves prevent the blood from going back . therefore the valves help the blood in veins to move back to heart. (not sure)
