Answer:
When wolves were removed from the habitat, the elk thrived, causing a population increase. more elk means an increase in the need for food. The leaves of an aspen tree make good food for elk causing over-grazing and soon, the "aspen trees will be eaten out."

Answer:
11B (reproduce). 12C (be eaten). 13A (variation). 14C (better adapted). 15C (Darwin). 16A (evolved). 17C (competition).
Explanation:
11 - The key principle underlying evolution by natural selection is that traits are only passed on if the organism survives long enough to reporduce. An adaptation that increases its likelihood of survival will therefore increase the chance it will reproduce.
12 - Deer rely on their brown fur to remain camouflaged in the forest so that predators can't see them. A white deer will stand out and will be seen by predators and eaten.
13 - This is the definition of variation. The variation becomes an adaptation if it actually benefits the organism in some way in its environment. A variation could also be neutral (doesn't affect the organism) or deleterious (bad).
14 - See previous question.
15 - Darwin developed the theory.
16 - This is describing the process of evolution.
17 - This is an example of competition.
If a disconformity is present in a region then it is likely that the region experienced extensive and prolonged denudation. Denudation is the laying bare of the land by the processes of mass wasting, weathering and erosion. A disconformity is a type of unconformity involving a non-sequence of beds. Sedimentary rocks that were exposed to denudation over time has some strata removed and then has new strata deposited without a change in the underlying or subsequent overlaying rocks. This makes disconformities hard to identify.
