State the difference between geological evolution and organic evolution?

Answer 1

The word evolution has grown to be rather over-used and sometimes even misused, and is commonly used to refer to non-biological systems when talking about them in a sense of their changes over a period of time. For example, while computer systems do not evolve in the way biological organisms do, they have changed drastically over the years through a series of smaller changes. Outwardly this system appears very similar to biological evolution, and so evolution phraseology is useful in this context.

Geologic evolution refers to a system of changes within a geological system. An example would be studying how a specific area has changed from ocean to mountains to desert over a period of time. Once again, geological systems do no progress in a "natural selection" sense such as true evolution, but they can change in drastic ways via a series of smaller changes over a very long period of time.

Organic evolution presumably refers to a system of changes within a biological range. This could refer to the evolution of species or traits within a species, or may even relate to pre-biogenesis evolution of basic amino-acid strands.

Answer 2

Geological evolution refers to how geological processes such as sedimentation, mineral deposition, erosion, and orogeny modify geological features over time, altering the fundamental environment and producing new landscapes. Organic (or biological) evolution refers to how biological processes such as germ-line mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow modify biological features over successive generations, differentiating populations and producing new species.
