<span>The sun's energy is absorbed by the top layer of the ocean water. The water molecules spread apart, become less dense, and cause movement of water. The energy from warmer water transfers to cooler water. Note: Satellite imagery allows you to see this process. Combined with wind currents, water of different densities that is mixing can be seen on the ocean's surface in the form of ripples or swirls.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Natural Selection

Explanation:

Genetic variations are one of the most important factors in the evolution of organisms. Mutations are fundamental in this process. When a mutation is produced in an organism, and that mutation produces an 'attractive' trait that will potentially help the organism to reproduce, then, this trait (if the mutation is hereditary) will be passed on to the subsequent generations and will stay in the population as it is beneficial.

This perfectly illustrates natural selection, which refers to a process in which a trait that is advantageous will stay in a given species if it helps the individual to survive and reproduce. In other words, nature "selects" the organisms that possess the 'best' traits so they can pass them from generation to generation and increase their chances of survival.
