Fill in the blank.

Darwin observed that finches’ _______ were specialized according to their unique environments.
Hutton contributed to Darwin’s ideas through his work on _______, the idea that geological processes are relatively constant over time, and don't change significantly.
Malthus’ ideas regarding supply and demand influenced Darwin because limited natural resources force individuals to _______ with each other, and not every individual will have the opportunity to reproduce.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. beaks

2. uniformitarianism

3. competition

4. Hutton was the first scientist to propose that the earth is several million years older than originally believed.

5. Nature is really good at establishing measures of population control when the demand for resources outstrips the supply. Disease and starvation increase to help reduce or limit the population.

6. Darwin applied the concept of uniformitarianism to biology and natural selection through a focus on constant small changes.

7. This suggests that round-winged flies are more fit in their local environment.

8. The geological processes responsible for changes in the earth several million years ago are similar to the geological processes changing the earth now, often in ways not immediately apparent. This is known as uniformitarianism.

Explanation:

Darwin use the idea of Hutton and Malthus to explain the evolution. Correct blanks are beak, Uniformitarianism, and completion.

Uniformitarianism:

This theory was given by James Hutton. It states that  geological processes or changes are constant over time when looking in the large frame of time.

For example - As population increase and physical changes in the coastlines, a tsunami reshape the coastline, Over population is controlled by the mass extinction, competition for resources etc.

Increase in the population brings, competition and force the individuals to migrate or fight.

Darwin explain that the individuals of Finch population was forced to find the new alternative of food because the competition was increased for one type of food.

Therefore, Darwin explain how new species originate using the ideas of Hutton and Malthus.
