What is an adaptation? Give an example of one.

Adaptations are special skills that help animals survive in their environments. For example, in order for pelicans to catch their prey, they use their pouch-like beaks to scoop up fish. This is an example of physical adaptation; the animal is using its body parts to help it survive.

Explanation:

My answer is self-explanatory; this is not plagiarized.

1: most common garden plants prefer loam — soils with a balance of different-sized mineral particles (approximately 40% sand, 40% silt, and 20% clay) with ample organic matter and pore space. however, some plants grow better in sandy soils, while others are well-adapted to clay soils.

2: available water capacity is the maximum amount of plant available water a soil can provide. it is an indicator of a soil's ability to retain water and make it sufficiently available for plant use. available water capacity is the water held in soil between its field capacity and permanent wilting point.

3: it is the same for all living things (plants and animals). it also includes very tiny organisms that our eyes cannot see. they are known as microorganisms, and include viruses, bacteria and fungi.
