There are a few key barriers that prevent plants animals and people from reaching North America. The most prominent of these is the physical geography of the continent. The Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west make it quite difficult for species to traverse the continent. Additionally the Bering Strait between Asia and Alaska is a major obstacle that many species cannot pass due to its icy waters.

In addition to physical geography there are also political and social actions that can prevent certain species from entering North America. For example international laws and regulations may prevent certain species from entering the continent through immigration or trade. Additionally climate change can also restrict the number of species that can reach North America by altering the temperature or precipitation in certain areas.

To summarize the following are the major barriers preventing plants animals and people from reaching North America:

  • Physical geography of the continent
  • Political and social actions
  • Climate change

These barriers have a huge impact on the species that can reach and inhabit North America.
