What is a variation that can help an organism survive?
A "variation" is a genetic feature expressed in some physical, physio chemical or behavioral manner by a living organism that is not present in the general population of the species to which that living organism belongs. If that variation advantages that animal as compared to others of that species then the likelihood is that that animal will breed more successfully, potentially passing on that variation to its offspring. Slowly variations accumulate and one species changes into a new species - this is called evolution.
What is the given name for genetic changes in living things over time?
Changes that occur slowly over time are given the name evolution.
How a new species form?
Over billions and billions of years, an entire species slowly develops characteristics that they need to adapt to current conditions. If this is repeated enough times, a new species completely different from the original can "form". Or if you're really religious, your God makes new species or whatever.

Why do changes in breathing happen?
Changes in breathing happen as a result of fluctuations in air quality, overall body condition, and direct control. These may occur slowly over time but will typically happen in a very short window.
How did Sir Charles Lyell's work help scientists?
by providing an understanding that most changes on earth's surface happen slowly
What is it meant by the term evolution?
A species (like man) slowly changes over time as it adapts. Some theorize we evolved from primates. That is evolution.
What happen when lens is slowly lifted up from glass plate?
When the lens is slowly lifted up from the glass plate the vision of the viewer changes. This is due to readjustment of the retina present in our eyes.
How are the theories of gradualism and punctuated equilibria different?
Gradualism suggests that evolution occurs slowly and steadily over time, with small changes accumulating to result in major changes, while punctuated equilibria proposes that species remain relatively unchanged for long periods and undergo rapid evolution when faced with environmental pressures. In other words, gradualism emphasizes a constant rate of change whereas punctuated equilibria highlights long periods of stability punctuated by sudden bursts of change.
What would happen to an eagle if its environment changes?
If the environment changes slowly the eagle would adapt to the new environment but if the environment changes quickly the eagle might migrate to an area with the same climate and features that it is used to
What is architectures significance in history?
Different periods in history are marked by changes in architecture as people's resources and knowledge of those resources changed as we moved slowly into an industrial and then information society
