Whay are fosil important to evolution

An ecologist is studying the effects that a population of predators is having on a population of a prey. he used data from the field to produce this graph. which conclusion can draw from the graph?

1. seamount a raised footwall block between normal fault creates this 2. syncline break between rocks where a hanging wall rises relative to a footwall 3. hot spring on rolling hills, this a dip between hills 4. volcanic neck created when a block with hanging walls slips down between normal faults 5. caldera underwater volcano that never reaches above sea level 6. horst natural hot water on earth's surface containing many minerals 7. graben underwater volcano whose top is eroded flat by waves 8. crater less than a mile in diameter; looks like a bowl at the top of a volcano 9. guyot magma that filled the central vent that remains after the volcano has eroded 10. reverse fault over 1 mile in diameter; looks like a bowl over a volcano

In what ways does the study of human population differ from the study of wildlife ecology
