In which area would a population be geographically isolated?
An Island
What condition is most likely result in speciation?
Small population size This is definitely wrong. Speciation is caused by two groups or more groups of the same species becoming separated into different environments. There both adapt to their own environment and become slightly different to each other. EG If one group of birds is carried to an island that only has long deep flowers to feed on. They will develop longer and narrower beaks to be able to gather the nectar.
Why are the branches of my Norfolk Island Pine drooping after being recently transplanted?
its roots aren't picking up enough water and nutrients after the move.
Which change in an ecosystem is most likely to result in primary succession?
on a new rock created by a volcanic eruption
How are new species formed?
New species can arise as a result of isolation. This is where two populations of a species become geographically separated. For example, Charles Darwin described speciation of finches this way.Darwin studied the wildlife on the Galápagos Islands (a group of islands on the equator, almost 1,000 km west of Ecuador). He noticed that the finches (Songbirds) on the different islands were similar to each other.However, the finches showed wide variations in their size, beaks and claws from island to island - for example, their beaks were different depending on the local food source. Darwin concluded that, because the islands are so distant from the mainland, the finches that had arrived there in the past and had changed over time.

What characterize the speciation in new areas such as a recent formed island?
Rapid speciation occurs as populations adapt to the environment. (Novanet)
Which form of speciation is most rapid A. sympatric speciation via character displacement B. allopatric speciation on the island archipelagos C. sympatric speciation via autopolyploidy D. allopa?
B. Allopactric speciation on island archipelagos. As the organisms move from island to island rapid speciation is observed because of variations in resource acquisition more than just variation in environment. Amplified radiation is observed. Example is finches on the Galapagos Islands. Hawaii also gives this example.

Is kakatoa active?
Yes, the Krakatoa volcano, which is on the relatively newly-formed island, of Anak Krakatau has erupted as recently as 2010, though none of these approach the size of the 1883 eruption.
