Adaptation occurs rapidly, evolution happens over long periods time
Think of it like a bunny in a forest. Suddenly a predator enters the forest, like a fox. Now the bunny has to adapt (run faster, burrow, stay quiet, etc) to survive.
Sensory adaptation happens when the body's sensory receptors are exposed to particular stimuli such as loud noise, high temperatures or strong scents for long enough that the receptors decrease their sensitivity to the stimuli, make them less noticeable.
