Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen is taken from its relatively inert molecular form (N2) in the atmosphere and converted into nitrogen compounds useful for other chemical processes (such as, notably, ammonia, nitrate and nitrogen dioxide).
Nitrogen fixation is performed naturally by certain types of anaerobic bacteria. Legumes such as clover contain symbiotic bacteria of this type within nodules in their root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help to fertilize the soil. See George Washington Carver.
Nitrogen can also be artificially fixed for use as fertilizer or in other industrial processes. The most popular method is by the Haber process. Artificial fertilizer production has achieved such scale that it is now the largest source of fixed nitrogen in the Earth's ecosystem.
(This is the definition from the http://encyclopedia.kids.net.au/page/ni/Nitrogen_fixation website)
There are many fish and other large marine animals in the light zone becuse plankton (a main foodsource for many fish) is able to grow.
This is Adaptation !
An adaptation is when an animal adapts or evolves to it's environment.
^ There are more uses for the word Adaptation but in this example this is correct. Hope this helps !!!
