      It's a shame that learning is so often tied to negative emotions and stress.
      This education system needs a complete overhaul.
      Learning should be giving us Dopamine. Instead, Facebook is usually that source.
      What a mess.

      @@manictiger try to explain this to the authorities of the education system and they'll call the students lazy and incompetent. Millions of students all across the world, and they are all at wrong, while the authority holding geezers who are long past their expiry date are right about everything. That is their logic. It is always the students who are at fault. Tragic.

      @@aniketdatta2450 To be fair, making learning interesting is not easy. This guy has a lot of talent and puts in a lot of work. There is just not enough people willing and able to do that in a country so that every child would have only great teachers. Sadly in my country teching attracts a lot of people who dont know what to do with their lives, so they become a teacher because at least their job is safe.

    Does Eutrophication tend to happen naturally in nature (perhaps a forest fire?) or is it almost always a human condition?
    Yet another great video btw. I don't tend to gain a lot of new information from youtubers, but your concise videos always seem to carry information peripheral to my world knowledge. Keep it up!! :)

    • @AtlasPro1
      @AtlasPro1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +146

      Yes things like forest fires, land slides, and many other natural processes can cause eutrophication. Every autumn in temperate climate trees shed their leaves and can cause degrees of eutrophication. These aren’t really seen as damaging though, as ecosystems have typically adapted to these. Really only human caused eutrophication causes widescale damages. Thanks for watching!

    I’m learning more about this because of a town park near a river I use to go in the summer with my community and my friends and cousin one time jumped in the river back then when it was clean. It was my favorite park to visit in the summer especially during golden hours. I returned to visit the same park and its was full algae and thats when I googled about eutrophication and made a huge ass post about it on instagram. And then I return to the park with kids now 2 days ago and I saw the river is now cleaner and majority of the eutrophication has been removed. Kinda gave me the same hope I can still enjoy the park and river scenery knowing eutrophication can be removed.

    Farmer’s actually have their fields tested throughout the entire field before applying, and only fertilize in the deficient areas.

You actually save money by having the fields tested and only treating the deficient areas vs just fertilizing everything! What a waste that would be! Otherwise you are buying unneeded fertilizer and over-fertilizing - which the cost outweighs by again, by having the field tested! If they can't afford the testing, they cant afford the fertilizer. I am not denying there is going to be some run-off, but we do our part to limit it! Just trying to help educate about our livelihood.
