Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>

Answer:

Species is defined as the group of organisms which are able to interbreed to produce a viable and fertile offspring.

Thus, for the formation of a new species, that is, speciation the new species must not be able to interbreed with the original species.

The new species are formed by the accumulation of genetic mutations over the generations.

What encourages flooding by allowing water to run off into streams?

Deforestation encourages flooding by allowing water to run off into streams

<u>Explanation</u>:

Deforestation plays vital roles in the flooding. The roots of the Trees prevent sediment runoffs and forests hold more water than farms or grasslands.Firstly the leaves in the trees will capture some amounts of water which will be eventually evaporated. Secondly, some quantity of water is  absorbed by the tree's roots. Also,Tree roots hold the soil in place, reducing the movement of sediment that can shrink river channels downstream..

The process of deforestation will lead to dislodging of the topsoil. this makes the  topsoil unstable and reduces its capacity to hold down the water
