← Nature & AnimalsWhich toxic outcome impacts aquatic life when nitrogen fixation over-occurs?
A)Algal bloom depleting dissolved oxygen✓
B)Increase in water specific gravity
C)Thermocline layer disintegration occurs rapidly
D)Decline in rate of photosynthesis
💡 Explanation
Algal blooms occur, because increased nitrogen stimulates rapid algal growth, causing eutrophication; leading to oxygen depletion. Cellular respiration drops oxygen levels, rather than alternatives. Other scenarios don't primarily result from increased nitrogen via nitrogen fixation alone, therefore, oxygen plummets.
