A long high sea wave caused by an earthquake, submarine landslide, or other disturbance. Undersea earthquakes, which typically occur at boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates, cause the water above to be moved up or down. Tsunami waves are formed as the displaced water, which acts under the influence of gravity, attempts to find a stable position again.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

True (although question is not clear enough)

Explanation:

Adaptive radiation occurs when <u>organisms evolve from the same ancestor. This process takes place as a result of environmental changes or when they are introduced to or colonize a new environment.</u> These changes become challenges that force these individuals to adapt to these new conditions.

Therefore, <u>this results into a faster evolution that creates different new forms</u> that possess a diversity of variations adapted to their new feeding habits, environment, and behavioral needs.

<em>One of the most famous examples of adaptive radiation is the formation of new forms of Galapagos finches.</em> These striking finches, which arose from a common ancestor, evolved different beak sizes and shapes that were especially adapted to different types of food. As different as they may appear, they are closely related!
