The high percentage of finches with shorter and thicker beaks suggests that on the Galapagos Islands the most available and most abundant food source are the seeds and the plants.

Because there are large variety of plants on the islands, and they are also consisted of thick vegetation, not sparsely distributed, most of the finches evolved to feed on the plant parts and on the seeds from those plants, thus the development of short and thick beak.

The insects and and other small organisms are not as abundant on the islands, so there's only enough food for smaller number of finches, thus the lesser percentage of finches with beaks that are pointed and thin.

The Dome of the Rock, the Wailing Wall, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are all sacred sites located in __________.
dolphi86 [110]
Jerusalem, by virtue of the number and diversity of people who have held it sacred, may be considered the most holy city in the world. To the Jewish people it is Ir Ha-Kodesh<span> (the Holy City), the Biblical Zion, the City of David, the site of Solomon's Temple, and the eternal capital of the Israelite nation. To Christians it is where the young Jesus impressed the sages at the Jewish Temple, where he spent the last days of his ministry, and where the Last Supper, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection took place. Also greatly venerated by the Muslims, it is where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven. While highly charged with intense religious devotion and visited by countless pilgrims and sages, Jerusalem has also been ravaged by thirty centuries of warfare and strife. It is a place of beauty and divinity, mystery and paradox; a sacred site which no modern spiritual seeker should fail to experience.</span>
