Answer:

"Deposition of sediments on shorelines" on shorelines is responsible for "eutrophication" in seawater.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The natural process of the addition of nutritional elements to the water is called Eutrophication.
  • The sediments carried by the rivers and streams flowing into the sea get deposited on the shoreline as these rivers and streams lose the strength to carry these sediments further.
  • These sediments are rich in nutritional elements like Phosphorous and Nitrogen. The presence of these elements stimulates the growth of algae to a great extent.
