Explanation / Answer

1. Acclimation occurs automatically, it is done by the body. Whereas adaptation is, what we actually have to do something towards a situation. For example, if we suddenly move towards a very cold region, initially we have to protect ourselves by using a blanket or jacket or something. But after sometime, body automatically adjust to that temperature and we does not feel any cold further, this is acclimation.
