We seriously need to rethink about the overuse of fertilizers in the agriculture industry. If not our planet will die.<\/p>\n

Also, increased surface temperatures make it more difficult for oxygen to reach relatively deeper parts of the ocean. The\u00a0majority of oxygen loss\u00a0is occurring at 300 to 2,200 feet deep. For reference, some parts of the ocean are 7 miles deep. Oxygen is typically replenished when surface water mixes with the deeper water, but when the oceans are hotter, there is less vertical mixing.<\/p>\n A second source of deoxygenation also plagues the coastal waters. Although this problem\u00a0has nothing to do with warmer waters caused by human-induced climate change,\u00a0humans aren\u2019t off the hook. Excess nutrients from agriculture and sewage cause excess algae growth. The decay process of algae uses up the oxygen in a process called eutrophication<\/a>, Levin said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We seriously need to rethink about the overuse of fertilizers in the agriculture industry.
