Carson is contrasting the way nature affects living things, and the way living things affect nature.

<h3>Who is Rachel Carson?</h3>

Rachel Carson is widely known for her renowned work on the need for the preservation of the earth environment called "Silent Springs". The passage shown here was culled from that book.

In this passage, Carson is contrasting the way nature affects living things, and the way living things affect nature.

Missing parts:

The history of life on earth has been a history of interaction between living things and their surroundings. To a large extent, the physical form and the habits of the earth’s vegetation and its animal life have been molded by the environment. Considering the whole span of earthly time, the opposite effect, in which life actually modifies its surroundings, has been relatively slight. Only within the moment of time represented by the present century has one species – man – acquired significant power to alter the nature of his world.

– Rachel Carson

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I inferred you are referring to the web marketing term- conversion.

In web marketing, a successful ad click to a website is often called a conversion. In other words, the number of visitors that respond to an ad urging one to click a form or to make a purchase on a website makes up the conversion rate.
