Question

Explain how the growth of algae harms water bodies?​

Answer 1

Answer:

algae forms a lyer on the water due to which organisms living inside the water get oxygen and sunlight deficiency

Answer 2

Growth of algae covers the layer of water in pond etc.. This prevents the sunlight from entering water body which serves as a raw material for the process of photosynthesis in plants. ... Thus it causes the depletion of oxygen from water bodies. It affects aquatic life who uses oxygen for their survival.

Too much nitrogen and phosphorus in the water causes algae to grow faster than ecosystems can handle. Significant increases in algae harm water quality, food resources and habitats, and decrease the oxygen that fish and other aquatic life need to survive.
