    The overlapping zone in between two ecosystems is known as

    A)  ecozone           

    B)  biotope

    C)  ecotone            

    D)  buffer zone

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The overlapping zone or transition zone between two different ecosystems is called ecotone. Ecozones are a method of dividing up the Earths surface. Each ecozone is a large area that contains a number of habitats, linked by the evolutionary history of the organisms within them. Biotope is an area of uniform environmental conditions providing a living place for a specific assemblage of plant and animals. A buffer zone is generally an area that lies between two or more other areas (often but not necessarily, countries). It is often created to enhance the protection of areas under management for their biodiversity importance.
