Which risk increases when intense rainfall occurs in heavily fertilized agricultural areas?

💡 Explanation

Increased eutrophication arises due to nutrient runoff. Leaching transports excessive nitrates and phosphates into water bodies; because this excess boosts algal blooms and depletes oxygen, therefore aquatic life suffers, rather than localized desertification or increased soil salinity.

• Which soil development is delayed when acidic bedrock limits weathering?
• Which effect on prevailing winds occurs because of increased latitude?
• Which outcome occurs when persistent offshore winds encounter cold, shallow coastal waters?
• Which outcome occurs because of increased organic decomposition within permafrost?
• Which outcome results when coastal subsidence follows glacial retreat near islands?
• Which mechanism causes distinct ridges known as 'arêtes' to form between adjacent glacial cirques in mountainous regions?
