He thought the islands had been separated,which there is evidence of . So the animals and plants similar,but are suffering form geographic isolation.

Describe three of Darwin's observations about animals in south America and on the galapagos island?
1. Finches are anatomically similar but have different colours in different areas and their beaks depend upon their diet. 2. Tortoises are larger on the islands, where there are fewer predators. 3. Animals vary within species and reproduce to the extent that some must die

Why did Charles Darwin think that the animals of the galapagos islands were similar to the ones on the south American coast?
their ancestors migrated from south america to galapogos islands
Are finches in Galapagos islands similar?
No, evolution has created different species of finches on the Galapagos Islands. There are 15 different species that are found on the Galapagos islands.

Which of the following did Darwin use to support his theory?

What did Charles Darwin observe about finches on the galapagos islands?
That the finches were similar to the ones on the mainland, but had adapted to the island environment.
Why were the Galapagos islands so important to Darwin's observations?
During Darwins visit to the Galapagos island he observed that these islands had many unique organisms, most of which were similar to but different from the plants and animals from the nearest mainland.... thus this indicated how population evolved. Darwin called this "descent with modification" meaning an ancestral species could diversify into many descendant species by the accumulation of adaptation to various environment. His observation described the theory of evolution.
What animals did Darwin did discover?
tortiose and finch.(Galapagos Islands
How are the finches on galapagos island similar?
They're birds of the Galapagos Island
The observation by Darwin that finches belonging to different species on the Galapagos Islands have many similar physical characteristics supports the conclusion that these finches?
originated from a common ancestor
What hypothesis did Darwin make to explain the difference between similar species -?
Darwin reasoned that plants or animals that arrived on the Galapagos Islands faced conditions that were different from those on the mainland. Perhaps, Darwin hypothesized, the species gradually changed over many generations and became better adapted to the new conditions.
