Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Why are the beak sizes and shapes of Darwin´s finches different?, would be: C: They adapted to the type of food that was available.

Explanation:

Darwin´s finches, birds that were found inhabiting Galapagos and Cocos Islands, are the best representation of Darwins theory of evolution as a response to genetic adaptation and change given the stress and influence of the environment. This discovery was made on Darwin´s 206th anniversary and it was published by scientists from Princeton and Uppsala University in <em>Nature. </em>Basically, what scientist found was that all finches had a common ancestor which had arrived in Galapagos 2 million years before. However, given the food sources available, this one bird started to evolve, and its offspring began to display differing sizes in parts of their bodies, including their beaks, in order to adapt to these food sources. That is why the answer is C.

how do th location and climate of the United kingdom and russia affect how each country conducts trade
AnnZ [28]
United Kingdom is surrounded with bodies of water; thus, it is easier for them to trade with people from different countries all over the world. Ships carrying various goods from different parts of the world would dock in UK ports and trade their goods for the goods found in UK. People living in UK has livelihoods that are depended on land (farming) and water (fishing).

Since UK is surrounded by bodies of water, it enjoys a milder climate compared with Russia.

Russia, on the otherhand, occupies some parts of Europe and Asia. But, Russians can not maximize the use of their land area since there are parts of Russia wherein there are permanently frozen land. Russia is also bordered by 15 countries with no access to waterways, making trading difficult but possible.

Most Russians live in the European part of the country because it has a better weather condition and trade among neighbouring countries can easily be done.
