Why did the population of peppered moths in England change from light to dark after the Industrial Revolution?

Light moths were killed by soot

The birds that ate the dark moths were killed by soot

Dark moths were produced by industrial processes

The example of the peppered (brown) moths living near English industrial cities demonstrates that

A change in an environment can result in the evolution of species living there

Evolution occurs so slowly that is it not possible to determine that it has happened in less than a million years

The environment near these cities has always favored dark colored moths
