Serhud [2]3 years ago

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.

What is a stationary location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that ri
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.
