The photograph shows a consequence of air pollution. Which of these does the photograph show? A - Bioremediation B - Acid deposition C - Eutrophication D - Ozone depletion
body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induce excessive growth of algae. This process may result in oxygen depletion of the water body.
Presence of pollutants in air such as nitrogen and phosphorus leads to entry of these pollutant in water bodies along with rain water. Presence of excess organic compounds in water is called as eutrophication. Eutrophication favors excessive algae production in water. Green algae growing on the surface of water is shown in the image. The Increased algal population consumes oxygen present in water and makes it unavailable for aquatic animals such as fishes leading to their death
