What causes algae to die?

Lack of sunlight or nutrients. Algae is essentially a type of plant. Think about typical household plants, if they don't have water, soil, or sunlight, they will die. But algae, unlike household plants, typically live in a body of water, so a lack of water normally is not a cause of death for them. Normally, algae die because there is not enough sunlight or nutrients, possibly because of an algae bloom (too much algae that use up sunlight and nutrients).

Yes, it is because without any algae some living animals in the pond would die. Algae can be food for some creatures in the pond. If your pond is just for admiring and not for living creatures, no, it isn't because the algae will take over the pond and no living creature is in it to eat the algae.
