Evolution occurs when life forms reproduce with genetic variation of inherited traits, within an environment with a limited carrying capacity (which is basically all environments). In other words, evolution happens where life as we know it exists.

How the gradualism model of evolution differs from the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution?

The gradualism model of evolution suggests that evolution occurs slowly and continuously over long periods of time through accumulation of small, incremental changes. In contrast, the punctuated equilibrium model proposes that evolution occurs in rapid bursts of change followed by long periods of stasis, with new species appearing suddenly in the fossil record.
