Answer:

Simultaneous advances in early seismic imaging techniques in and around the Wadati-Benioff zones along the trenches that delimit many continental margins, along with many other geophysical (eg gravimetric) and geological observations, showed how the oceanic crust could disappear in mantle, providing the mechanism for balancing the length of shortened ocean basins along their margins.

All this evidence from both the ocean floor and continental shores made it clear by 1965 that continental drift was viable and that the plate tectonic theory, which was defined in a series of articles between 1965 and 1967, was born with all its extraordinary explanatory and predictive power. The theory revolutionized the Earth sciences by explaining a diverse range of geological phenomena and their implications in other studies, such as paleogeography and paleobiology.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

Biome.

Explanation:

Ecology can be defined as the scientific study of the relationship between living organisms such as plants and animals in relation to their physical and biological environment.

An ecosystem can be defined as the natural living habitats of both living and non-living organisms, in which they interact with one another. Essential services such as plant pollination, water purification, nutrient cycling etc that are being provided by the ecosystem are really very vital, important and useful for the sustenance of life, both for humans and enhances social welfare. It is generally considered to be stable if it's capable of applying self-regulating mechanisms in order to return to an equilibrium state, after an experiencing an outside disturbance or perturbation. Thus, a stable ecosystem maintains a natural balance of nutrients and energy.

In Ecology, a relatively distinct terrestrial region comprising of plants, micrograms and animals, and characterized by similar environmental factors such as relative humidity, temperature, wind, rainfall, etc., regardless of where it occurs in the world is called a biome.

There are five (5) main types of biomes and these are;

I. Forest.

II. Aquatic.

III. Desert.

IV. Grassland.

V. Tundra.
