How does natural selection enable populations to grow

Definition1/17
The growth or shrinkage of populations has nothing to do with
natural selection, but with the availability of resources, and the
ability of organisms to utilize those resources. This is also known
as 'carrying capacity'. The natural tendency is for organisms to
produce more offspring than the environment can support. So if the
environment supports more individuals, then the population will
automatically grow. If conditions change and the environment
supports less individuals, then some individuals will starve or be
otherwise unable to reproduce. Natural selection, in this case,
"determines" which individuals pass, and which do not.

Definition1/17
Productivity in temperate oceans is determined by the tides. The
bigger the wave, the less productivity will be present. Low tide
means high productivity in tide pools along the shore.

The GPP is not a taxable entity because its member are taxable

🔄 Click to see definition
Definition1/17
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by sustainable, but solar
energy will be available until the Earth dies. So, in that sense it
is sustainable. On the other hand it is not economically feasible
as a broad based source of energy, so in that sense it is not
sustainable.
