Evolution is an observable fact where the heritable traits of a population of organisms change over time. What that statement lacks is a description of the mechanisms that cause that. The “Theory of Evolution” explains how the fact of evolution happens. The theory of evolution states that those heritable traits of a population of organisms change over time as a result of natural selection or genetic drift. (Note that there are slight variations of this.) So natural selection is one of the two driving forces of evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproductive success of individuals in response to the environment due to differences in phenotype. For example, and herbivore may have a random mutation that gives it better camouflage from predators, and thus will survive longer and reproduce more.
To summarize, evolution is what we observe, the change of a population of organisms over time. Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that drive it.

The organisms that exist now on earth, are the same as thousands of years ago?
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

A sea sponge 760 million years old

Explanation:

It's unclear exactly how long sea sponges have been around, but they are at least old enough to be the longest-existing creatures on Earth, outside the realm of microorganisms (like bactery). The oldest evidence of a sea sponge found was a fossil discovered just last year in a 760-million-year-old rock. This beat the previous record for oldest sponge fossil, a 635-milloon-year-old sponge discovered in 2009. There may be still older fossils yet to find. But finding an older species is unlikely,as these simple organisms appear to be the progenitors of much more complicated life, including the first multicellular animals.

With more carbon in the atmosphere, what do you think will happen to the environment
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Global warming

Extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will increases the greenhouse effect. More thermal energy is trapped by the atmosphere, causing the planet to become warmer than it would be naturally. That increases the Earth's temperature which is also called Global Warming

The answer to the question is the Marine snow.
In the deep ocean, marine snow is a continuous shower of mostly detritus falling from the upper layers of the water column. It is a significant means of exporting energy from the light-rich photic zone to the aphotic zone below. Marine snow particles are found throughout the world's oceans in all parts of the water column.
