Answer to Question 1

Eutrophication is when lakes or streams have too many nutrients in their water due to
excessive nutrient runoff. Problems caused by excessive nutrients are excessive algae

Answer to Question 2

The hydrologic cycle is the cycle of water in the environment. It is important because it
is the way water is purified in nature.
