What is the difference between adapt and acclimate?
Adaptation is a long-term permanent adjustment of a group of organisms to a changing environment. Acclimatization is a short-term rapid temporary adjustment of an organism to a changing environment. Acclimatization can be reversed once the previous conditions are met. Adaptation occurs over many generations.
