Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The sea floor refers to the oceanic crust that are comprised of basaltic rocks. The basaltic rocks contains olivine, feldspar and some pyroxenes that are usually denser than the minerals that are found in the continental crust.

On the other hand, continental crust refers to the rocks that are found in the continental landmasses, often comprised of rocks that are granitic in nature. The minerals such as silicates, feldspars are less dense.

When continental plate are subducted under the oceanic crust, the rocks at greater depths undergoes partial melting as a result of which the rocks melts and forms magma. These magma becomes less dense due to the high temperature and rises up towards the the surface in the over-riding plate.

Thus, as the plate subducts, the rock chemistry changes , thereby making it less dense.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Why modern agriculture is important ? Long answer ​
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Agriculture is the main source of food, income, and employment of our country. ... Agriculture has been the highest priority because economic growth was dependent on both increasing the productivity of existing crops and diversifying the agricultural base for use as industrial inputs.

OR

Modern agriculture is an evolving approach with innovations in farming practices that helps in increasing agricultural efficiency and reduce the loss of natural resources. By applying this modern technology, farmers are gaining more profits and able to increase their productivity of field.

Some of the modern techniques like selected variety of hybrid seeds of a single crop; bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides; technologically advanced equipment and energy subsidies in the form of irrigation water are commonly employed by the farmers. The sensors used to detect moisture in the soil help farmers to create irrigation systems for crops based on soil moisture and temperature. Working in low visibility field conditions like rain,dust and fog is possible with the help of modern technologies. Agricultural robots automate agricultural processes of fruit picking, crop harvesting, soil maintenance, irrigation, ploughing, planting, weeding and others. These robots automate slow and repetitive tasks for farmers to ensure focus on improving overall production yields. Land-augmenting technological changes involve technical, chemical and biological modifications to beintroduced in agriculture.
