Question
eutrophication is:
○ what occurs when too many fish die off in the ocean and pollute it
○ what occurs when the environment becomes enriched with nutrients, increasing the amount of plant and algae growth
○ what occurs when the environment has too little nutrients
○ what occurs when too many large - scale boat operations pollute the water
Eutrophication is defined as the enrichment of an environment (typically aquatic) with nutrients (like nitrogen or phosphorus), which stimulates excessive plant and algae growth. The other options describe unrelated processes: fish die-offs are a potential consequence of eutrophication (not the definition), too few nutrients is oligotrophy, and boat pollution is a different type of water contamination.
