Adaptation is the evolutionary process whereby a population becomes better suited to its habitat.

The word adaptation comes from the root word "adapt" and means to change in a way that is beneficial to survival. Most people and animals will adapt to new surroundings if forced to.

It means changing something to fit the circumstance, or changing an action or response to better deal with something. In nature, it can be a physical or a behavioral change in response to the environment.

Adaptation means a behavior or physical characteristic that allows an organism to survive or reproduce in its environment.

Adaptation is the process of something altering itself to fit in the surrounding system

Adaptation means any characteristic that an animal has that helps them to survive in their environment. There are physical and behavioral adaptations.
