Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect as technology cannot artificially create biogeochemical cycles if biodiversity fails to do so. Biogeochemical cycles are complex processes that involve living organisms, geology, chemistry and physics. Technology can assist in some aspects of these cycles, but cannot replicate the complex interactions and feedback loops that occur naturally in ecosystems.
