A hypothesis is a theory yet to be tested, or a "guess" that will be the basis of your excitement.
Theory of punctuated equilibrium may also know as punctuated equilibria, it was first presented in 1972 by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould, the pattern describe is by the long duration of stability after the rupture patterns of evolutionary change.
Out of the chooses given, the best description between evolution and natural selection is that natural selection leads to evolution. The correct answer is A.
We see that this is a region near the continents, so it is probable that there is the boundary of a tectonic plates around there. Since there are islands there, it is quite probable that there is a subduction zone near them which means that the oceanic crust is going below the continental one and the continental is slowly elevated. This also shows that the boundary is convergent, since transform boundaries do not lead to elevation. Near convergent boundaries, there are frequently volcanoes and shallow earthquakes. Finally, the climate near Alaska is cold and this does not depend on whether islands are near a boundary or not. So, 2 4 and 5 are correct. hopefully this is correct?
