Lift‚ weight‚ thrust‚ and drag. During flight‚ there is a constant relationship between these forces. Lift is the upward force created by the effect of airflow as it passes over and under the wing. The airplane is supported in flight by lift. Weight‚ which opposes lift‚ is caused by the downward pull of gravity

Patterns of Evolution Humans alter our environment to suit our needs rather than adapt to our environment based on environmental stressors. Due to this fact‚ we are unlikely to be affected by the pressures of natural selection. We will not likely be affected by further evolution. In convergent evolution‚ unrelated species living in the similar environments become more and more alike in appearance as they adapt to the same kind of environment. Dolphins and sharks are examples of convergent
