No. A crater would be an example of what happens when a volcano erupts or a meteorite impacts the planet.

They all have the same bones, albeit evolved to suit different needs.


What is an example of divergent evolution?

Basically, divergence is the "default mode" of evolution. So virtually all species you can think of would be examples of divergence. Even in cases of parallel and convergent evolution, the underlying genomes will continue to diverge. An often used example of divergent evolution in the morphological and behavioural sense is Darwin's finches.


How did Darwin explain existence of similar but unrelated species?

Through convergent evolution, in which similar function produces similar form.


Is subduction convergent or divergent?

The answer would be convergent


What is it called when two very different species evolve to look like each other?

Convergent evolution may be the words you seek. This often happens when different species have to adapt to a similar environment. An example would be the similar body shape, and the shape of appendages; of both fish and of marine mammals.


Which pair of organisms show convergent evolution?

Sharks (cartilaginous fish) and dolphins (mammals) exhibit convergent evolution in their similar streamlined body shapes, adaptations for swimming, and behaviors due to their shared aquatic lifestyle despite evolving from different lineages. Another example is the sugar glider (marsupial) and flying squirrel (rodent), where both have independently developed adaptations for gliding in different regions of the world.


How do adaptive radiation and convergent evolution differ?

Divergent evolution creates the divergence of a single species by isolating the gene pools of each species thereby increasing the differences between the population and eventually species. Divergent evolution is the evolution of different species from a common ancestor (and hence common characteristics) to attain new, dissimilar characteristics. Convergent evolution works on a different level. Unlike divergent evolution, convergent evolution does not create species with similar derived characteristics. Convergent evolution involves the adaptation of several different, unrelated organisms to the same environment in the same way. For example, flies and birds are not immediately related yet they both cope with getting around by flying with wings- similar structures that are not derived from one and other. Convergent evolution does not create new species, unlike divergent evolution. Convergent evolution is the co-evolution of different species with different ancestors in such a way that they attain the same characteristics independently of each other.

Is a mountain a example of a convergent boundary?

A mountain is an example of a possible result of converging plate boundaries. An actual example of a converging plate boundary would be the Indian-Eurasian Plate Boundarywhich is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range. Other convergent plates can create trenches such as the Mariana Trench, which is the lowest place on the surface of the Earth.
