Eutrophication is defined as a change that occurs to an aquatic ecosystem. This change is mainly due to what?

• Depletion of the ozone layer

• Increased nutrient concentration (such as nitrogen and phosphorus)

• Increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.

When deforestation occurs, some species become extinct as their habitats are destroyed. What effect does this have on global biodiversity?

• the biodiversity of the planet increases

• the planet’s biodiversity is not affected

• the biodiversity of the planet decreases

• the planet’s biodiversity cannot be measured
