Pollutant released due to human activities (like effluents from industries and homes) can radically accelerate the ageing process of the water body .(a) Explain how does this process occurs during natural ageing of lake.(b) Give the term used for accelerated ageing of water bodies. Also give the term used for the natural ageing of lake.
Considering your knowledge of the 'aquatic world' so far, describe in the detail the nearest water body that you are most familiar with. Chosen body of water Boracay in the Philippines.
1) What is this body of water? (hint: provide name). What are its characteristics?
