Answer:
Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.
Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists are concerned about the areas created or enhanced by human activity. There are many physical, chemical, and biological factors that combine to create dead zones, but nutrient pollution is the primary cause of those zones created by humans. Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life.
Dead zones occur in coastal areas around the nation and in the Great Lakes — no part of the country or the world is immune. The second largest dead zone in the world is located in the U.S., in the northern Gulf of Mexico.

It is adaptation

I had this question on my test last week
The answer is true.
Transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder (urothelium) is a type of stratified (multilayered) epithelium. Layers of epithelial cells in this tissue can contract and expand in order to adapt to the degree of distension needed.
Layer of basal cells (basal layer) consists of cuboidal or columnar cells. Superficial layer, on the other hand, can vary depending on the degree of distension: so, when the bladder is not stretched, the cells are cuboid, but when the bladder is filled with urine, stretched, the cells are squamous.
