Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eutrophication is actually a process where a body of water becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to excessive growth of algae and other aquatic plants, which can deplete the water's oxygen and harm or kill other marine life. It does not refer to a lake dying due to a lack of nutrients, but rather the opposite.
