The medium ground finch lives on the Galapagos Islands. Birds with beaks of all sizes were originally part of this population. The finches are seed eaters. The types of food available for them to eat depends on the weather. During wet years, there is a large variety of food. During dry years, there is less food, and large, tough seeds are more abundant than small seeds.
After a long drought, researchers noticed certain differences in the population of medium ground finches living compared to those who lived before the drought. What was different about the finches after the drought?
A.
They had smaller wings.
B.
They had larger wings.
C.
They were a new species.
D.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water.
