Answer:

Descent with modification

Explanation:

Darwin proposed the phrase "descent with modification" to explain that evolution of new species occurs when existing species accumulate genetic variation over the period of time.  

Accordingly, the process of accumulation of genetic variations to get better adapted to the surroundings is followed by natural selection of individuals with beneficial adaptations that impact survival advantage to them. These individuals transmit the adaptations to their progeny.

Gradually, the process leads to the evolution of new species which differ from parental species in having the individuals carrying the beneficial adaptations.

ValentinkaMS [17]
The rock found in the riverbed that is smooth is from the result of weathering of water in the river and erosion. The rock deep underground was most likely a product of erosion. The dirt and ground above it were eroded and displaced there to cover the rock.
