it could wash into the river or streams which can cause dramatic effects.
Nitrogen is important because it is a key building block of amino acids and thus proteins and living things. It acts as a fertilizer. During a thunder storm lightning converts some nitrogen to more soluble forms and when it rains it thus acts as a natural nitrogenous fertilizer. Also, if all the atmosphere was oxygen, this would create a very flammable situation. The nitrogen which is almost inert thus "dilutes" the oxygen. Even in a hospital when someone has breathing diffficulty, they use 50% oxygen 50% air rather than pure oxygen.
The runoff from fertilizer creates algae blooms. when the algae decomposes it takes away dissolved oxygen from the water. This suffocates fish, causing dead zones. Google it. you can find tons of answers. scientific America is a reliable source. hope i helped
Because of a chemical imbalance in the water which occurs because of the level at which the water evaporates. Because the water is being housed below ground level it develops a skin to normalise the oxygen content and the amount of hydrogen which is absorbed into the water.
eutrophicationeutrophicationFertilizer in a lake helps algae grow. Up to a certain point, that is good. The algae turns carbon dioxide into oxygen and adds oxygen to the water. However, after that point, the algae covers the lake. Oxygen from the air can not get to deeper water. Dead algae falls to the bottom of the lake and decomposes. The process of decomposing uses up oxygen. The amount of oxygen in the lake drops below the point where fish can survive. Thus, over fertilization leads to a fish kill.
the main three gases in air are nitrogen, oxygen and inert gases 78% of air is made up of nitrogen, 21% is oxygen, just under 1% is argon and the remaining part is made up of other gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapour.
nitrogen is used for fertilizer
The fertilizer causes an increase in algae. As algae die and are decomposed the decomposers increase and use up all of the oxygen in the water.
plants give animals oxygen and food.
It would decrease the dissolved oxygen because it would stop the plants from making oxygen.
The answer is oxygen.
Potassium sulfate (K2SO4) is a component of fertilizer.
Algae is the largest producer of oxygen
Oxygen is a highly electronegative element that draws electrons towards itself causing an imbalance of charge and hence polarity.
True because the fertilizer runs off into the ocean or lake and the plants in side the body of water will over grow and produce so much oxygen that the animals inside the lake can cause them to die
If the plants and animals disappear from the Earth's surface, then the ecological balance will be disturbed. Without plants there will be no oxygen available for breathing after some time and everybody will die.
it will cause aquatic animals to suffocate by draining out all the oxygen in the water
Less farm and industrial runoff reaches such sea: farm runoff - with high quantities of fertilizer - provides the development of oxygen-consuming algae, which depletes the oxygen and kills marine life.
