Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Which of the following phenomena might have influenced the evolution of organisms?
- Continental drift
- Glacial cycles
Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Correct
Solution (c)
200 million years ago, that large continent Pangaea starts breaking up. Last Glacial cycle ended 15000 years ago. Continental drift would mean some animals would be stuck to one continent, others on different with no chance of meeting and mating. Similarly glacial cycles would affect evolution as many would not be able to tolerate extreme cold and would become extinct plus sea level rise due to glacial melt
