Answer:

B.) Over million of years, the eyes of cave salamanders lose their function is an example of adaptation  

Explanation:

Adaptation is an evolutionary process. Under this process an animal or plant evolves to become suitable to  live in a particular habitat. The organism undergoes many changes through natural selection, such changes takes place over generations. Although scientists were discussing adaptation before 1800s, it came to limelight only after the development of theory of natural selection by Alfred Russel and Charles Darwin.

Adaption can be of three types: Behavioral, Physiological and Structural

  • Structural: changes in their body parts to better suit their environment. It is visible from outside e.g Desert foxes have long ears to radiate heat.  
  • Physiological: These are the changes in the functioning of th organisms body organ, it is no visible from outside.  
  • Behavioral: It includes changes in the behavior as per the need of the environment.  Ex. Migration of birds to warmer winter climates and hibernation of beer to escape cold.

Explain how ecosystem can change even if people are not involved​
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

The animals could change it. For example, a bunny could dig a hole in the ground, making a home for other animals inside of it, too, changing the animals' living environment.

Or natural disasters could change their environment, too. For example, if a landslide occurred and covered a pond, frogs and snakes could lose their living areas and food, which would make them have to move to a different area, changing another ecosystem.

What are some negatives and some positives of coastal development?
zzz [600]

Answer:  Positive: Coastal areas help prevent erosion; filter pollutants; and provide food, shelter, breeding areas, and nursery grounds for a wide variety of organisms.

Other coastal developments can also harm sensitive marine habitats and species.
