Scientists have discovered by looking at fossil records that the ancestors of flying squirrels did not have flight membranes and are very similar to tree squirrels today. Make a hypothesis about how flight membranes evolved in flying squirrels through the process of natural selection.

they use natural selection because they got separated from their kind and have to make new living also they need to adapt to the environment

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
