Question
[1]. Passage:
Far below sunlight, where pressure would crush an ordinary vessel, life continues without photosynthesis, without seasons as we know them and without haste. Creatures there grow slowly, live long and waste almost nothing, because energy is scarce and every movement has a price. Human visitors, by contrast, arrive with bright lights, heavy machinery and a habit of taking first and asking later. Mining the seabed for metals may solve a short-term shortage on land, but it risks destroying habitats that took thousands of years to form and that we barely understand. The ocean does not argue; it absorbs, delays and then returns the consequence in changed currents, collapsing fisheries and warming seas. To study the deep sea seriously is to learn restraint: not every resource that can be reached should be taken, and not every frontier needs a flag.
What lesson does the deep sea teach, in the author's view?
