Environmental Variation

Environmental variation refers to changes or differences in the conditions of an organism's surroundings that can affect how it grows, survives, or reproduces. These conditions include factors like temperature, water availability, sunlight, and nutrients. Such variations can be natural, like seasonal weather changes, or due to human activities, such as pollution. Environmental variation influences how species adapt and evolve over time, and can lead to differences within a population depending on the specific conditions each individual faces. Understanding environmental variation helps us appreciate how organisms respond and adapt to their ever-changing habitats.
