Native shellfish populations have dramatically decreased as they are outcompeted by the crabs, causing a decrease in biodiversity.
Answer:
Option (3)
Explanation:
Unconformity is defined as the gaps in the sequence of geological rocks. It is a geological contact that marks the boundary between the different types of rocks. In simple words, they are also known as the time of non-deposition. These unconformities have great significance in the field of geology. They are of 4 types, namely-
(1) Angular unconformity- The sedimentary rocks are initially formed and deposited in an area, after that the area is tilted and erosion takes place. Now, the new sediments are deposited forming an angle, which is commonly known as an angular unconformity.
(2) Non-conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited over the igneous or metamorphic rocks, then it is known as the non-conformity.
(3) Para conformity- When the sedimentary rocks are deposited parallel to the ground surface, and absence of erosion activity, then these surface appears to be a normal (simple) bedding plane. This is known as the para conformity.
(4) Disconformity- When the sedimentary rocks are formed and undergoes erosion, then new sedimentary rocks are deposited over this and diminishes the unconformity. This forms a discontinuity.
Thus, the unconformity arises due to both erosion and lack of rock deposition.
Hence, the correct answer is option (3).

I would say the correct answer is B: <span>People tend to overuse or degrade shared resources. It is often not clear how much exploitative pressure a natural resource can sustain before the exploitation becomes unsustainable. So for example, various industries may dispose of waste into a river. The river has a capacity to absorb and clean a certain amount of effluent by natural degradation systems. However, at some critical mass of pollutants, these natural processes are no longer able to function properly, and the river becomes very polluted to a point were the resource cannot be utilised. Monitoring can help to gauge at which point a common resources is becoming unacceptably degraded, and this can guide policy.</span>
