Uh I think there's already a water quality question marathon, maybe you could answer the questions over there and then repost this
1. When river flow is far stronger than tidal forces, what type of estuary is formed?
2. What organism on the list is known for pharyngeal jaws?
3. What is blast fishing, and why is it harmful?
1. salt-wedge estuary
2. moray eel
3. blast fishing is the use of explosives to stun fish, making them easier to catch; it's harmful because it destroys coral reef habitats, which take an extremely long time to regrow
1. The process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted to artificial fertilizer is called ____________.
2. What organisms carry out nitrogen fixation in the ocean?
3. What is the largest pool of nitrogen in the nitrogen cycle?
1. Haber–Bosch process
2. cyanobacteria
3. atmosphere

I apologize if the two sets of questions was confusing at all, as I had made a duplicate marathon for Water Quality on accident, which was merged with the current one.

3. The feeding mechanism of parrotfish is an important contributor to what general process?

3. The feeding mechanism of parrotfish is an important contributor to what general process?
1) Crown of Thorns Starfish
2) Rhodophyta (red algae)?
3) Coral reef growth by eating seaweed on rocks.
I apologize in advance if these answers are all completely wrong, I’m still pretty new to the event, and haven't done that much on it.
