Answer:

Algae Blooms

Step-by-step explanation:

When soil is eroded and taken to other locations, the nutrients it carries are taken with it. If these nutrients make their way to ponds or lakes, they can support rapid reproduction in algae, creating algae blooms that can damage local ecosystems.

Also I took the quiz. I hope this helps :)
