Answer:

Adaptive radiation

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when an ancestral species move to a new environment that has various resources that are necessary for survival and also has environmental conditions that would ensure its offspring adapt well over time. In this new environment, the ancestral species would produce offspring with different traits and behaviors that will allow them to survive in this new environment while occupying their various niches. Over a relatively short time, different species arising from the common ancestor would occupy the new environment.

What must happen to the agent of erosion (wind or water) in order for deposition to occur?
Gnoma [55]

I am pretty sure that it is D

With decomposition, the final deposition of particles(sediments) usually occurs at the mouth of a stream. Then a process called horizontal sorting occurs where the sediments that were once carried down are arranged from big to small. Decomposition in streams takes time so the speed of the water and wind should not affect it nor should gravity or the direction. Streams cannot change direction either unless human involement occurs

Hope this helps :)
