Water pollution comes from many sources. One of the biggest sources is runoff. Runoff moves over the surface of the land and picks up chemicals such as fertilizer (contains vital nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium - NPK) from agricultural fields, lawns, and golf courses. It carries the chemicals to bodies of water. The added nutrients from fertilizer often cause the excessive growth of algae, creating algal blooms which are temporary phenomena because the large population of algae use up the available nutrients (Figure 2.4c). When the algae die, the decomposing bacteria use up oxygen in the water so that other aquatic organisms cannot survive. This has occurred over large areas of the ocean, creating dead zones, where low oxygen levels have killed all ocean life. A very large dead zone exists in the Gulf of Mexico. Measures that can help prevent these problems include cutting down on fertilizer use. Preserving wetlands also helps because wetlands filter runoff.

Why do deciduous trees lose their leaves?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The answer is c. Deciduous trees lose their leaves to prevent nutrient and water loss.

Losing leaves is a trees' strategy to survive cold winters. It is known that trees primarily lose water through leaves. In the winter, there is no enough water to replace that lost water. If the trees were not to throw away their leaves, they will soon dry out. Also, before falling the leaves begin, reabsorb all nutrients from the leaves and store it for the cold winter. Thus, losing leaves is important to prevent both nutrient and water loss during the winter.
