Agriculture negatively affects reef ecosystems because the soil and the sea have a direct interaction of substances and minerals that can be altered with the intensification of agriculture.

<h3>What is agriculture?</h3>

Agriculture is a human activity that is based on planting seeds in the ground so that they develop and form plants that have uses such as food or others.

This is one of the oldest activities of humanity and has allowed communities to develop and create trading systems, wooden constructions, navigation, among others.

<h3>What impact does agriculture have on the reefs?</h3>

Agriculture generally takes place in coastal areas or near rivers because the composition of the soil must have certain minerals necessary for plants to grow.

Additionally, the components of the soil go underground to the sea and provide the water with different substances that contribute to marine life. However, the use of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals could reach the sea through runoff and affect the reefs.

If the Midwest experiences a severe drought that damages the corn crops, we should expect the supply of corn to decrease and the price of corn to rise.

Why is nonpoint source pollution more difficult to control than point source pollution?.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

<em><u>Some water pollution is caused from “point sources” that is discrete locations, from which pollutants are discharged, e.g., a pipe, ditch, ship, or factory smokestack. Point sources originate in large and easy to trace facilities, hence are easier to control. In contrast, pollution from “nonpoint” sources is cumulative, arising from multiple inputs over larger areas, such as farms, city streets, and residential neighbourhoods. Hence, such sources are harder to precisely identify, and because of this uncertainty, nonpoint source pollution is harder to control than the point source.</u></em>
