Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

Upwelling usually refers to the rising up of denser, deep-sea cold water to the surface of the ocean, replacing the less dense warm air.

It takes place both near the coastal areas and in the broad open ocean.

The deeper cold water is highly rich in the valuable nutrients, and as they rise up they carry these nutrients and distribute them in the upper region of the ocean water body. The marine organisms are directly dependent on these nutrients, thereby helps in biological productivity.

Thus, the intense upwelling occurring in a particular area in the ocean signifies the abundance of marine species.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

write some insights about the agro-ecology. what it is and what it has to effer? is this the future of farming?​
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Hi dude

This means farming that not only produces food, jobs and economic well-being, but also creates cultural, social and environmental benefits. Agroecology also protects and provides ecosystem services like pollination, natural pest control, nutrient and water cycling and erosion control.

Agro ecology is the future of farming

Farming for the Future is a holistic farming approach that starts with building and maintaining the soil, because healthy soil is better able to retain water, reducing irrigation and water usage, and soil erosion and loss of top soil are reduced.

Agroecological methods can also help farmers cope with climate change by enhancing resilience. Agroecology has the explicit goal of strengthening the sustainability of all parts of the food system, from the seed and the soil, to the table, including ecological knowledge, economic viability, and social justice.

The image shows rock strata from three different regions on Earth. Identify all the layers that contain an index fossil
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer is: Layer 1, layer 2, and layer 4 in all three regions.

The index fossils are fossils that are commonly used for identifying a geological period of time, and these fossils are also very wide spread, as well as having a rapid evolutionary trends.

By this picture, we can easily see that even though we have rock strata from different regions, the same layers contain the same fossil, and it is a fossil that also is rapidly evolving so has a minor change in each layer.
