Answers
Answer:
Inorganic carbon is the right answer
Answer:
Eutrophication of the surface waters occur due to the presence of nutrients.
Hence, the required answer is option c: nutrients.
Explanation:
→ The process of eutrophication takes place when the water in a water body becomes highly rich in nutrients.
→ This promotes the growth of algae that uses up all the oxygen that is used by the marine flora and fauna.
→ Due to lack of oxygen marine animals and plants die that cause an adverse impact on the biodiversity.
→ Eutrophication occurs when farmers and industrialists pump out used water that is rich in components like nitrogen and phosphorus into water bodies.
→ Eutrophication can also cause the implantation of foreign plants in a water body that can seriously affect the normal biodiversity of the place.
→ Eutrophication can also decrease the water quality.
