← GeographyWhich outcome results when excessive rainfall occurs in heavily fertilized farmland?
A)Eutrophication in nearby water bodies✓
B)Increased carbon sequestration in soils
C)Enhanced mineral deposition in subsoil
D)Reduced rates of soil erosion
💡 Explanation
Eutrophication occurs because the mechanism of nutrient leaching transports nitrates and phosphates into water bodies, therefore excess nutrients stimulate algal blooms, rather than soil enhancement or reduced erosion under these conditions.
