Eutrophication occurs when excessive nutrients like nitrates cause over - growth of plants in water bodies. This over - growth leads to oxygen depletion as plants decompose, harming the aquatic environment. Fossilization is the process of preservation of remains as fossils. The greenhouse effect is related to the warming of the Earth's surface due to certain gases in the atmosphere. Conservation is about protecting natural resources.
