The correct answer is A) One causes an overgrowth of aquatic plants and the other lowers the pH in the water.
Eutrophication refers to the process where a body of water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants. This can lead to oxygen depletion in the water when the plants die and decompose.
Acidification, on the other hand, is the process of lowering the pH of a body of water due to increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere being absorbed into the water. This can have negative impacts on aquatic life and ecosystems.
What is the difference between euthrophication and acidification?
A) One causes an overgrowth of aquatic plants and the other lowers the pH in the water.
B) One causes an overgrowth of aquatic plants and the other deletes dissolved oxygen in the water.
C) One causes an undergrowth of aquatic plants and the other depletes dissolved oxygen in the water.
D) One causes an overgrowth of aquatic plants and the other increases the pH in the water.
