How does this graph show that the hare population is regulated by the lynx population?

41. $500 Answer from Misc1 What is:
The hare population shows the greatest variation; the lynx numbers never reach the high levels that are by the hare population; the hare population numbers are high, so there is a lot of food for the lynx population, so the hare population decreases and then so does the lynx population
