LUOA Earth Science Module 8 (2023/2024) Already Passed Glossopteris was a temperate climate leaf fossil. He found it in Antarctica. How could this be? Because that fossil was supposed to have been in a temperate climate near the equator but instead was in Antartica, meaning that the continents have moved since the beginning of time. Alfred Wegener discovered rocks in the Appalachian Mountains matched rocks in _______________________. Europe and Greenland Originally, Wegener's hypothesis that...

What is Geology? Geology is the study of the earth, including the earth's composition, structure and the processes that have shaped it What geologic factors influence people? Mountains and valleys, volcanoes, faults and earthquakes, rivers, climate, natural resources What are the three natural resources? Minerals, oil, water How are populations influenced by geology? Low populations tend to live in extreme terrain where places of high population are usually on flat land...

Where organisms occur depends on a number of factors: geological history, shifts in climate, and the phylogenetic history of the lineage. Be able to explain why this is the case Geological history: continental drift, glaciation (ex: formation of the Bering Land Bridge connecting Asia and North America) Historical shifts in climate: range breaks due to historical local extinctionsPhylogenic history: phylogenetic conservatism of species' range limits, divergence of the range limits What is the d...
