Question

Name of any two causatives of red tide.

Answer 1

Red tide:

1. Algae are microscopic creatures that grow in the water and are the main cause of red tides.
2. The overabundance of algae in the water is what causes a red tide.
3. Red tides are caused by dinoflagellates, i.e. Gonyaulax and Gymnodinium
4. Thus, red tides are events in which marine or freshwater algae accumulate rapidly in the water column, resulting in the red coloration of water.
