General Science - Physics (Basics)
Which of the following is a consequence of eutrophication in water bodies?
AIncrease in dissolved oxygen
BGrowth of aquatic plants and algae
CReduction in water temperature
DDecrease in nutrient levels
Step-by-Step Solution
  1. Step 1: Define eutrophication

    Eutrophication is nutrient enrichment causing excessive growth of aquatic plants and algae.
  2. Step 2: Analyze effects

    It leads to algal blooms, not increase in oxygen or temperature reduction. Nutrient levels increase, not decrease.
  3. Final Answer:

    Growth of aquatic plants and algae → Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Eutrophication effect = Growth of algae ✅
Quick Trick: Excess nutrients cause algal blooms.
Common Mistakes:
  • Assuming oxygen increases during eutrophication.
