They aren't exactly comparable as punctuated equilibrium is concerned with the evolutionary course of a species while an adaptive radiation generally involves speciation and so is concerned with the evolutionary course of a genus or family. That aside, the major difference is the variation in the rate of evolution: whether evolution is constant or occurring in bursts.
Punctuated equilibrium - A species has a constant phenotype for many generation (stabilizing selection; no evolution) followed by a rapid burst of evolution (directional selection) which is then followed by another long period of stability and so on. Using its name: the equilibrium (no evolution) is punctuated by short but strong bursts of evolution.
Adaptive radiation - A starting species expands into a new environment and begins to adapt to the new conditions, changing relative to the population still in the old habitat. These populations then colonize further habitats, each becoming different from the others, and so on... The "species" continually expands into new habitats, evolves, and eventually speciates producing a radiation of differently adapted species from a single ancestor. For your question, this means that selection is continually acting to make the populations more different from one and other rather than only happening in bursts

adaptive radiation
Adaptive radiation occurs when a species occupies a habitat with unoccupied niches
Adaptive radiation
When there is a sudden and long lasting change in the environment, adaptive radation will occur.
Extinction events, such as the Permian extinction and the KT extinction event. You have adaptive radiation driving evolutionary change after such events. Google " the rise of the mammals. "

Adaptive Radiation :)
Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.

Adaptive radiation occurs when a species occupies a habitat with unoccupied niches
An adaptive zone is an environment which allows the development of adaptive radiation.
Adaptive Radiation is likely to produce a cluster of species in a short period of time.
I think it is Puncuated Equilibrium. I am not sure.No Punctuated Evolution is a period of stasis where no changes occur followed by sudden rapid change.It is Divergent

Adaptive radiation spread them into many land niches
