Which of the following statement about eutrophication is TRUE? A) Eutrophic bodies of water are characterized by murky water with large phytoplankton blooms. B) Climate Change will not affect eutrophication because phytoplankton growth is unrelated to temperature C) Eutrophication is typically driven by natural processes like rock weathering and nitrogen fixation D) Eutrophication can harm fish and other aquatic species but does not cause health problems for humans.

Step 1
- This statement is TRUE. Eutrophication is a process where water bodies receive excess nutrients that stimulate excessive plant growth such as algae and other aquatic plants. This excessive growth, often referred to as algal blooms, can create murky water Show more…

Which of the following statements about eutrophication is TRUE? Eutrophication is characterized by clear water that is relatively free of algae. Eutrophication can occur when a pollutant occurs in higher concentrations as it moves up the food chain. Eutrophication is typically driven by natural processes like rock weathering and nitrogen fixation. Eutrophication is sometimes associated with compounds that are hazardous to human health.
