They both mean the same thing but applicable in different countries. Acclimatization is used in the UK, while acclimation is used in the US. They both mean the process in which an individual organism adapts to it environment.

How is adaptation and acclimation different?

Adaptation is a long-term evolutionary process where a species undergoes genetic changes over generations to better survive in its environment. In contrast, acclimation refers to the short-term physiological adjustments an individual organism makes in response to environmental changes, such as temperature or altitude, without altering its genetic makeup. While adaptation leads to permanent changes in a population, acclimation is reversible and occurs within the lifetime of an organism.

What is the difference between acclimation and adaptation?

Acclimation is the process of becoming adjusted to a new environment or situation like its something your body naturally does. adaptation is not what the body automatically does you normally have to do something in order to adapt to something like weather for instance you would go get a jaket to adapt to the weather. but its diffrent for animals for example a dog sheds in the summer that's acclimation. it automatically happens but your body doesn't just adjust its self to jus remain it's regular temp. in -7 degree weather.

What is the definition of acclimatization?

ac·cli·ma·ti·za·tionn. The physiological adaptation of an animal or plant to changes in climate or environment, such as light, temperature, or altitude.The above retrieved from Answers.comViper1Any of numerous gradual, long-term responses of an individual organism to changes in its environment. The responses are more or less habitual and reversible should conditions revert to an earlier state. These criteria differentiate acclimatization from ho from growth and development (which cannot be reversed); and from evolutionary adaptation (which occurs in a population over generations). Acclimatization can occur in anticipation of a change and enable organisms to survive conditions beyond their natural experience. Examples include adaptations to seasonal changes and adjustments to changes in altitude. Above retrieved from Answers.com


What is the Definition for Behavioral Adaptation?

Behavioral adaptation is an adaptation that helps an organism enhance either survival or reproduction. Adaptations, behavioral or structural, are genetically-based and thus can be passed on from generation to generation. Behavioral adaptations are those adaptations that have a behavioral/action component to them. While an adaptation is any trait that changes to better suit the organism for its environment, it is important to understand that adaptations are different than an acclimation. An adaptation, behavioral or otherwise, takes several generations to develop, while an organism can become acclimated to conditions within its lifetime. Becoming more "used to" colder temperatures by the end of wintertime is considered an acclimation.
