Adaptation is changes in the overall physiological makeup of a population of organisms that bestow increased reproductive fitness on the population. Natural selection causes adaptation by favouring variants with increased reproductive fitness over less reproductively successful variants.
Natural selection is one of the mechanisms that shapes adaptation and enables evolution.
Adaptation does not allow for natural selection: natural selection causes adaptation.
Natural selection is what causes adaptation.
Because adaptation is the directly visible result of natural selection.
Here is a quote: "The relationship between adaptation and natural selection does not go both ways. Whereas greater relative adaptation leads to natural selection, natural selection does not necessarily lead to greater adaptation." I do not recall who said it, but this is what the relationship between both is. Here is a quote: "The relationship between adaptation and natural selection does not go both ways.

No, it's exactly the other way around: natural selection causes adaptation.

Natural Selection.
Adaptation is a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment, while natural selection is the process by which organisms with advantageous adaptations are more likely to survive and pass on their genes to the next generation. In other words, adaptation is the result of natural selection.
