Ecological footprint measures our use and demand of nature and how much nature we have. It measures how much quantity of nature can be used to support people or an economy and it tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system.

Ecological surplus or deficit measures what is left over or how little a country's biocapacity is available. It is calculated by subtracting the country's ecological footprint per person from the country's biocapacity per person. They are both measured in global hectares (gha)

natima [27]

Answer:

<em>This is an example of natural selection (adaptation).</em>

Explanation:

Natural selection tends to favor those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment.

As tortoises having flat shell and long neck were better adapted to live in barren area, hence through natural selection those organisms were favored in such an ecosystem.

As tortoises that lived on the vegetative lands were more adapted to live in such an ecosystem, hence through natural ecosystem these organisms were favored and increased in numbers.
