The model known as gradualism.
Gradualism
Isolation of population and impact of climate change creates speciation. It is the method of slow change of one species to another.
Evolution--basically anything that is "change over time" in the terms you are thinking is evolution.
When Darwin first published his theories on evolution by natural selection, he envisaged evolution as a slow, steady process, with little variation in the rate of change. Later discoveries showed that this process was unlikely to be so slow and steady as was thought earlier; that in stead certain conditions enabled lifeforms to change rapidly, to develop significantly different morphologies in the course of less than 10.000 generations even. The first scientists to formulate such a model were S.J. Gould and N. Eldridge, and their model was called 'punctuated equilibrium'. To summarize: the significant difference between Darwin's gradualism and Gould's punctuated equilibrium is the variation in the rate of change.
This is the gradualism model.

All life is an example of evolution. It is the slow change of a species.

Metabolism is the slow process of by which living things change. If metabolism stops, everything will die off.
In the simplest sense, evolution means the slow process of change from a simple, to a more complex structure.
I would say that it is about inbetween. it's not too slow, but it's not too fast.
