Final answer:

Punctuated equilibrium theory explains evolution with periods of stability interrupted by rapid changes.


Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium is a theory of evolution that suggests long periods of stability punctuated by rapid bursts of change, while gradualism proposes slow, steady evolution without sudden development of new species. This concept is supported by the fossil record, showing periods of stasis followed by rapid change, possibly due to environmental factors.
