Which of the following is not one of the major environmental problems resulting from human interference in the nitrogen cycle?
AGlobal warming due to release of nitrous oxide
BAcid rain
CEutrophication
DOzone depletion ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Ozone depletion — Ozone depletion is not a major problem from nitrogen-cycle interference here, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Ozone depletion is not a major problem from nitrogen-cycle interference here, so that is the answer.
★Disturbing the nitrogen cycle releases nitrous oxide, adding to global warming.
★It also leads to acid rain from nitrogen oxides.
★And it causes eutrophication as extra nitrogen enriches water bodies.
★Ozone depletion is chiefly linked to chlorofluorocarbons, not this interference.
★So the one that is not such a problem is ozone depletion.
