I think it is Puncuated Equilibrium. I am not sure.
No Punctuated Evolution is a period of stasis where no changes occur followed by sudden rapid change.
It is Divergent

What is divergent evolution in whch ancestral species evolve into an array of species to fit a number of diverse habitats?
Adaptive radiation.
What is an example of divergent evolution?
Basically, divergence is the "default mode" of evolution. So virtually all species you can think of would be examples of divergence. Even in cases of parallel and convergent evolution, the underlying genomes will continue to diverge. An often used example of divergent evolution in the morphological and behavioural sense is Darwin's finches.
What is the type of evolution by which organisms evolve differences when they are isolated in different environments?
Allopatric speciation.Allopactric speciation. Geographic isolation. Adaptive radiation can also result from geographic isolation.
What is the radiant evolution in Darwin's theory?
Better known as "adaptive radiation", it is independent evolution from a population of a species that has become geographically isolated from its parent population.
What is it called when two very different species evolve to look like each other?
Convergent evolution may be the words you seek. This often happens when different species have to adapt to a similar environment. An example would be the similar body shape, and the shape of appendages; of both fish and of marine mammals.
Divergent evolution is also known as?
Adaptive radiation

Is adaptive radiation the evolution of numerous species from a single ancestor?
yes
How do animals living in the Galápagos Islands help support the theory of evolution?
They are a classic example of adaptive radiation. Most of the animals on the Islands are from South America and came to the Islands, diversified into many species which inhabit different Islands in the chain. The finches and tortoises are the best example of this adaptive radiation; just evolution over time.
The evolution of ancestral species into an array of many spices that occupy diffret habitats?
A radiation event. Called adaptive radiation.
The rapid formation of many new species as in this case is called?
Adaptive Radiation :)
The structure of the forelimb of a bird is similar in structure to that of the forelimb of a mammal suggesting that both descended from a common ancestor What is this similarity an example of?
Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.

Allopatric speciation.Allopactric speciation. Geographic isolation. Adaptive radiation can also result from geographic isolation.

The evolution of numerous species such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor called?
The evolution of numerous species, such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor is called adaptive radiation.

The evolution of numerous species, such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor called adaptive radiation.
