Study the given diagram regarding accelerated or cultural eutrophication of a water body:
The correctly matched pairs include:
| 1. | Normally the cause if an excess of nutrients applied to the soil. |
| 2. | Some nutrients leach into the soil and get drained into the water body. |
| 3. | Some nutrients run off over the ground into the body of water. |
| 4. | The excess nutrients cause an algal bloom. |
| 7. | Eventually, the algal bloom dies, sinks to the bottom of the lake, gets decomposed by bacteria which increases the dissolved oxygen in the water body. |
| 8. | Increased dissolved oxygen content is dangerous to larger life forms. |
The correctly matched pairs include:
| 1. | All | 2. | All except 7 and 8 |
