When excess fertilizer drains into a lake what may occur harming fish populations?
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.
Why is it bad that the ocean is absorbing excess carbon dioxide in the air?
The oceans are becoming more acidic, harming coral and shellfish which are thus unable to produce strong shells.
A farmer applies excess fertilizer to one of her fields just before a rainstorm What kind of pollution is this most likely to lead to?
Nutrient and bacterial. But if you had to pick one it is definitely Nutrient.
Does soil erosion cause water pollution?
Yes. Soil erosion causes water pollution. The pollution from mud in the water is nowhere near as dangerous to people as the pollution from sewage. Likewise, excess fertilizer runoff creates algae blooms which poison people. Some health food nuts claimed blue green algae is good for you. Many cattle have died from drinking water from ponds filled with blue green algae. Fertilizer drained from farm fields into ponds caused the poisonous algae to grow. The pollution caused by soil erosion is bad. The pollution caused by fertilizer runoff is worse.

What excess fertilizer drains into a lake may occur harming fish populations.?
excess nitrogen from runoff would cause excess algae and plant growth, possibly affecting fish populations by decreasing the livable area of the water for fish. the excess algae bloom will deplete oxygen in the water causeing dead zones where there is not enough oxygen for fish to survive.

What is the excess interstitial fluid drains from body tissues?
Lymph.
How can eutrophication prevent?
we can prevent this by decreasing the use of fertilizer in plants. Excess use of fertilizer can lead to eutrophication.
What are stormwater drains desinged to do?
Prevent flooding and recycle excess water.
What effect does the amount of fertilizer have on the growth of a plant?
Insufficient fertilizer in plants can cause deficiency symptoms and slow plant growth. Excess fertilizer, meanwhile, can lead to salinity problems.
What does a negative f statistic mean?
the populations have an excess of heterozygotes
What is a river catchment?
This is the land, near a river, the excess water of which, drains into the given river
Is a fertilizer a pollutant?
Yes, fertilizer can be a pollutant.Specifically, fertilizer becomes a pollutant in terms of water. Excess applications can run off in rain events. They end up in streams where they cause nitrogen blooms.
What happens if excess fertilizer is applied without water to a plant?
you burn the plant and may even kill it
