Answer:

The correct answers would be natural selection and high genetic variation in the species.

Natural selection refers to the natural phenomenon by which organisms which are better adapted or have survival traits tend to survive and reproduce more in the environment.

It leads to an increase in the frequency of the trait in a population.

Genetic variation refers to the sum total of all the genetic characteristics present in a population. Higher genetic diversity higher are the chances of a population to survive.  

Similarly, different sizes of the beaks are the result of high genetic diversity out of which large size beak was favored by natural selection.  

Ultimately, the large beak size trait spreads through the population.

How does deforestation speed up the process of erosion?
Tpy6a [65]
Deforestation speeds up the process of soil erosion because trees are vital in keeping soil intact. The roots of trees help prevent soil erosion because they absorb the water in soil. If there are no trees to absorb the water, flooding can happen more. In turn, flooding can cause the soil to weaken and this can cause landslides and other natural disasters.
