Common environmental problems in lakes and probable causes Associated with nutrient‚ organic matter‚ and silt enrichment of lake. If the natural process is accelerate by human influence‚ it is termed “cultural” eutrophication.

sediment. Below that (A) comes the topsoil. This is where seeds sprout and other plants roots grow. This layer is also made up of humus‚ but here are other mineral particles as well. Next is the eluviation layer (E). This layer contains mostly sand and silt. It is the eluviation layer because of the process that takes place here where minerals are lost as well as clay because of water dripping through the soil. The subsoil layer is next (B).
