Solution
The correct answers to the question about eutrophication are:
- Leads to algal blooms
- May result from the pollution of water by raw sewage
- Results from excess nitrogen and phosphorus in runoff
- Leads to toxin release and oxygen depletion
Eutrophication does not lead to population explosions of fish species. Instead, it often leads to a decrease in fish populations due to oxygen depletion. Also, it can be determined to be a result of fertilizer use, as fertilizers often contain high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, which can contribute to eutrophication when they enter bodies of water.
