Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which human activity can speed up the process of eutrophication?
A
Building cities
B
Nuclear power plants
C
Deforestation
D
Farming
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eutrophication is predominantly caused by human actions due to their dependence on using nitrate and phosphate fertilizers. Agricultural practices and the use of fertilizers on lawns, golf courses and other fields contribute to phosphate and nitrate nutrient accumulation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Human activities can contribute excess amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into water. Therefore, human causes of eutrophication include the use of agricultural fertilizers. Other causes include sewage and aquaculture, which is the growing or farming of fish, shellfish and aquatic plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cultural eutrophication is the process that speeds up natural eutrophication because of human activity. There are three main sources of anthropogenic nutrient input: erosion and leaching from fertilized agricultural areas, and sewage from cities and industrial waste water.

Detailed explanation-4: -See all related content → water bloom. Cultural eutrophication occurs when human water pollution speeds up the aging process by introducing sewage, detergents, fertilizers, and other nutrient sources into the ecosystem.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nutrient pollution, a form of water pollution, is a primary cause of eutrophication of surface waters, in which excess nutrients, usually nitrogen or phosphorus, stimulate algal and aquatic plant growth. A common visible effect of eutrophication is algal blooms.
