4.16 understand that eutropication can result from leached minrals from fertiliser

Nitrates and phosphates can leak from mineral fertilisers that are put on fields. If it rains, they are easily leached into rivers and lakes. this results in eutrophication. Basically...

- The extra nutrients causes algae to grow super fast. This blocks out the light
- Plants in the river (before the algae) can not photosynthesise due to low light. They die.
- With more food (dead plants) available, microorganisms living in the water rapidly increase in number and deplete/use up all of the oxygen in the water.
- Organisms, like fish for example, that need oxygen, die.
