what is the difference between puberty and adoselence (I dont no how to spell it)?

Answer 1

Puberty is the stage of physical development where a child's body matures to adulthood, and they develop adult sexual traits and charachteristics.

Adolesence is the same phase of development but refers more to the age range during this change, there is no actal physical stage to it rather it is the tranistory period.

Puberty refers to the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction. Growth accelerates in the first half of puberty and reaches completion by the end. Body differences between boys and girls before puberty are almost entirely restricted to the genitalia. During puberty major differences of size, shape, composition, and function develop in many body structures and systems. The most obvious of these are referred to as secondary sex characteristics. In a strict sense, the term puberty refers to the bodily changes of sexual maturation rather than the psychosocial and cultural aspects of adolescent development.

Adolescence is the period of psychological and social transition between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence largely overlaps the period of puberty but its boundaries are less precisely defined and it refers as much to the psychosocial and cultural characteristics of development during the teen years as to the physical changes of puberty. Children and young adolescents near the average age of puberty are sometimes referred to as peripubescent in medical literature.
