← GeographyWhich risk increases when intense rainfall occurs in heavily fertilized agricultural areas?
A)Increased soil salinity levels overall
B)Eutrophication in nearby water bodies✓
C)Decreased levels of soil compaction
D)Accelerated rate of desertification locally
💡 Explanation
Increased eutrophication arises due to nutrient runoff. Leaching transports excessive nitrates and phosphates into water bodies; because this excess boosts algal blooms and depletes oxygen, therefore aquatic life suffers, rather than localized desertification or increased soil salinity.
