Aristo was riding in a car and noticed a pond that was covered in algal blooms due to excess phosphorus in the water. Which of these other features in the landscape could be the reason for the high levels of phosphorus?

many cars
cow pasture
solar panels
forest

Answer :

Answer:

The answer is cow pasture.

Explanation: When the dead cow pasture decomposes, it releases phosphates into the environment. In addition, the cows that feed on the pasture release manure with phosphates content. When the phosphates reach the pond, they spur up bacteria and algal growth in the pond causing an algal bloom. This results in taking up of dissolved oxygen (for cellular respiration) until the waters become anoxic.
