2. Evapotranspiration • The combined amount of evaporation and transpiration • Application: • Ecosystem Ecology

3. Evolution • A change in the genetic composition of a population over time • Application: • Evolution of biodiversity

4. Evolution by Artificial Selection • A change in the genetic composition of a population over time as a result of humans selecting which individuals breed, typically with preconceived set of traits • Application: • Evolution of Biodiversity

5. Evolution by Natural Selection • A change in the genetic composition of a population over time as a result of the environment determining which individuals are most likely to survive • Application: • Evolution of Biodiversity
