When lava first breaks through the surface of the Earth, it is an extremely hot liquid. On average, fresh lava can be between 1,300Â° F and 2,200Â° F! Depending on its exact temperature, fresh lava usually glows either orange/red (cooler) or white (hotter). Eventually, lava cools and returns to solid rock again.
Eutrophication is the process of increase of plant nutrients in water with the consequent. increase in the growth of algae and higher plants. This process is facilitated by external. and internal (such as nitrogen fixation) sources of nutrients. Input of nutrients may be. from point or diffuse sources.
The source of this excess phosphate are detergents, industrial/domestic run-off, and fertilizers. With the phasing out of phosphate-containing detergents in the 1970s, industrial/domestic run-off and agriculture have emerged as the dominant contributors to eutrophication.
