Red Tide in the context of Eutrophication
Explanation:
- Eutrophication is a serious environmental issue across the world.
- The causes of eutrophication are the high concentration of nutrients in the water body, such as nitrogen and phosphorous.
- These nutrients are the food for aquatic organisms such as algae, plankton.
- When the eutrophication process occurs in the ocean, the population of certain species of microscopic dinoflagellates explodes.
- During the explosion, the water can turn red, brown, or pink, and this is called "Red tide."
- The major eutrophication in the ocean is caused by human beings.
