5.-Deep-sea vents eventually fill with hardened rock to become a solid ocean floor. How would that cause the ecosystem to change?

Filling deep-sea vents with rock disrupts the ecosystem, causing a decline in heat and mineral-dependent organisms and enabling the colonization of new species, resulting in a significant ecological transformation.

6.-Lions eat zebras.How might the lion population be affected if the zebra population died out?

Lions would suffer from food scarcity, reduced reproductive success, and a declining population if zebras disappeared. This loss of a key prey species would also impact the entire ecosystem due to lions being apex predators.
