Natural selection caused the ground finches beak to increase in size from 1976 to 1978

# data[].attributes.body
Increased from 1976 to 1978 to help  them survive the drought. These measurements of the length went from 10.709mm in 1976 to 11.606mm in 1978

# data[].attributes.body
The depth of the beak also increased from 1976 which is before the drought to 1978 which is after the drought. The measurements included 9.649, befor to 10.546 after.

The ground finch ate 2 kinds of seeds the portucale which is a soft and easy seed to find. And then there is the tribulus a hard and slightly less common seed. But during the drought the portucale could not thrive any longer eventually being found .385 every square meter. But the tribunals also could not thrive it could still be found 4.929 every square meter.

The average length of the beaks increased because the birds with small beaks died off there for increasing the average beak length. The small beaked birds died of because the only seed the could eat was the portucale which Became very scarce. But for the birds that had long beaks they were able to find and eat the harder shell seed the tribulus. This supports nature selection because the Long beak birds were able to find and eat there food weigh the small beak birds were not.

Natural selection Happens hean 1 caristic in a animal makes that animal Thrive weight the animals that don't have that caristic can't thrive. For example the the finch with the wider beaks were able to crack open the hard shell of the tribulus. Where the birds that had smaller beaks could not break open the hard shell and the soft seed portulaca became vary scarce.

# data[].attributes.body
The portulaca and the tribulus were very different. for example the tribulus had a very hard shell and was able to hold in water for very song times. But the portulaca was a common and had a soft shell, And it needs lots of water. So during the drought thae small beak birds needed to eat so they hunted down the portulaca which combined with the factor that it would not be able to survive the drought made this seed very scarce. But the tribulus could survive the drought, and there were not a lot of ground finches with big beaks that could eat this seed.
