Answer:

Mesopelagic zone

Explanation:

The Mesopelagic zone, also referred to as the Twilight zone, is the second oceanic zone from the top, lying just bellow the Epipelagic zone. It is occupying the waters at depths between 200 meters and 1,000 meters. The sunlight is only managing to reach the top few meters of this zone, while the rest is not receiving any sunlight, thus this zone is not supporting the plant species because they need sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. There are lot of animal species that live in this zone though, and they are ll very well adapted for it, often having hard shells or heavily scaled bodies, larger lungs and heart, and very well developed gills. Some of the animals that live in here are the crabs and the clams. They have developed all the needed characteristics to live in this zone. Because they are prey to lot of larger animals, both the crabs and the clams have started to use the soft sediments at the bottom as cover, digging themselves below it, and mostly managing to evade trouble and end up as food for the other species.

What was an unintended negative environmental consequence of improved technology in agriculture?
Mumz [18]

The correct answer is B. Modern technology allowed for larger expanses of land to become cultivated, so farming took over many natural areas that were important for wildlife.

Explanation:

In the last decades, the creation of agricultural technology has increased the efficiency of growing crops. This means now, all the process is more efficient, which leads to more products to be sold and an increase in profit. However, the possibility of large scale agriculture has caused more land is used for this purpose. This often implies natural ecosystems such as forests are destroyed and the land of these ecosystems, which is usually rich in minerals, is used for extensive agriculture. This is a negative consequence of agricultural technology as natural areas important for wildlife are taken for human profit.
