Explain how the presence of algae can indicate either pollution or productivity of a body of water?

The presence of excessive algae, known as an algal bloom, can indicate pollution in a body of water due to an excess of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from sources like agricultural runoff and untreated sewage.

Monitoring algae levels can help assess the health of aquatic environments.

How does raising cattle and farming rice contribute to air pollution?

Both produce methane. However, studies have shown that rice production produces much more methane gas than the raising of cattle in either a pasture or industrial setting. Also, the waste resulted from raising cattle in a drylot or feedlot setting can make the air quite smelly. No doubt rice farming does the same job to the air, causing what would be considered "air pollution."
