The diagram shows a river running from the mountains towards the sea. Trees are felled and cleared from the shaded area. After a rainstorm, what effect does this have on the nitrate ion content at X and at Y?

  • Anitrate ion content at X increases; nitrate ion content at Y increases
  • Bnitrate ion content at X increases; nitrate ion content at Y decreases
  • Cnitrate ion content at X decreases; nitrate ion content at Y increases
  • Dnitrate ion content at X decreases; nitrate ion content at Y decreases
