Explanation:
Eutrophication, or hypertrophication, occurs when a water body is excessively enriched with minerals and nutrients that cause excessive algae growth. Eutrophication is characterized by excessive plant and algal growth due to the increased availability of one or more photosynthesis-related limiting growth factors such as sunshine, carbon dioxide and nutrient fertilizers.
Eutrophication causes structural changes in the environment such as the increased algae and aquatic plant production, extinction of fish species, general water quality degradation, and other effects that minimize or prevent use. This cycle could also contribute to the water body's depletion of oxygen.
