The reason behind the depletion of the oxygen in the water of the dead zone.

Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The lack of oxygen in the water bodies kills the useful bacteria of the water. The plants growing below the water die by chocking because of zero supply of oxygen. The aquatic animals also die due to low oxygen content.
Dead zones are areas in the large oceans, which has a huge amount of organic nutrients caused due to the over activities of humans. The human activities like household washing, industrial waste, and other waste materials add a huge amount of organic substances in the water bodies. The water bodies grow algal bloom on the surface of the water. The algal bloom or growth of algae uses the oxygen of the water body for growing. The reduction in oxygen has many adverse effects on the living organisms of the water body.

- Discussion Question: Ecosystems Essentials A+ shof 1000 Exo-spil The Human Denominator Assignment As we learn about how the earth works, we learn to identify the different earth spheres and how they overlap and affect one another. An understanding of the Earth's systems and spheres takes practice. More importantly, we can see the "Domino Effect" of the spheres as they interact with one another. We have learned that while endogenic processes are separate from exogenic process, the lithosphere affects the atmosphere which affects the hydrosphere, and thearrow_forwardI need help with part c and darrow_forwardI need help with tracing over part A can someone help me outarrow_forward

The water depths are shown by blue contour lines. As you complete the following questions, assume that waves with a wavelength of 60 feet are approaching the shoreline from the bottom left of the figure. 1. At approximately what water depth-10, 20, 30, or 40 feet-will the approaching waves begin to touch bottom and slow down? (Hint: Recall that this occurs when the water depth is one-half the wavelength.) Approximately the 30-foot depth line. 2. Using the wave shown in Figure 12.2 as a starting point, sketch a series of lines to illustrate the wave refraction that will occur as the wave approaches the shore by following these steps:Step 1: Mark the position on the 30-foot contour line where the wave front will first touch bottom.Step 2: Knowing that the section of the wave that touches bottom will slow down first, sketch the shape of the wave front when it reaches the 20-foot contour…arrow_forward
