How does phosphorus in fertilizer move from crops to the ocean?
Phosphorus from fertilizer can runoff into waterways, where it can be carried to the ocean. This excess phosphorus can contribute to algal blooms in the ocean, which can deplete oxygen levels and harm marine life. Proper management practices can help reduce this movement of phosphorus from crops to the ocean.
What eventually happens to seafloor that is carried away from the mid ocean ridge?
its deposited somewhere else
What does runoff include?
Water also reaches the ocean as runoff from the surface. Runoff includes flow from rivers as well as melting snowfields and glaciers.
What is an example of runoff?
Rain causes runoff. When it rains, the rainwater mixes with trash and other pollutants and it is carried down our storm drains and into our oceans. Gasoline and sewage spills from boats and ships also contribute to the pollution problems. Also if people do not clean up there trash and just leave it into our community then when it rains, the rain picks up all the trash and then goes into sewer drains, and the sewer drains lead to the ocean.
All surface runoff eventually flows into the?
The ocean
What makes ocean waves light up with a blue green light at night?
I believe when this happens there is phosphorus in the water, I'm not sure how it gets there though.
What effect does the ocean not have on the land?
Collecting salt from runoff water
What is the final destination for runoff that flows on the surface of the continents?
The final destination for runoff that flows on the surface of continents is typically the ocean. Runoff collects in rivers, streams, and other water bodies, eventually making its way to the ocean where it contributes to the global water cycle.
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
How can runoff on a mountain end up in the ocean?
the snow falls off the mountain and falls onto the ocean
