How did continental drift affect the locations of different organisms?

Continental drift is the theory that the continents were once together. Fossils provide evidence that animals in different continents were once in the same location. For example, fossils of triolobites (prehistoric animals) are found in South America and in Africa. Some explorers thought that there was a land bridge that animals crawled on that crosses the ocean but their thinking is not logical because if there was a land bridge there is not a way for it to even form do to the horrific waves in the ocean. Therefore continental drift is a logical theory.

How does earth geological features affect the ability of organisms to live in different places?
Earth geological features affect the ability of organisms to live in different places because the temperatures change. Since animals and other organisms have different requirements to live, they have to live in different places.
Can the different types of soil affect the organisms in that ecosystem?
biodiversity
How do different densities affect small organism?
small organisms have more oxgyen than big organisms
How did the continental shift theory affect evolution?
The ultimate allopatric ( geographic ) speciation. If you had a population of quite similar organisms in a area that split the population into two or more populations when continental drift occurred you would have different mutations and changing environments putting selective pressure on two or more populations now.
How does light affect life in the oceans?
basically it affects the different types of organisms living there. basically it affects the different types of organisms living there. photosenthesys is also present when sunlight is.
Would altitude affect the elevation at which some organisms are found?
It would because different animals can live in different climates
How would an oil spill in the Continental Shelf affect the environment of all living organisms?
it would kill all the species that live there, because obviously its an oil spill.
How can mutation in a gene affect the traits that an organisms has?
The gene will code for a different protein than it should.
Is location a threat to internal validity?
Location can be a threat to internal validity if different locations have different characteristics that could affect the outcome of the study. To minimize this threat, researchers should try to control for location by either selecting locations that are similar in relevant characteristics or by randomizing the assignment of participants to different locations.
