Does geographic isolation contribute to evolution-?
A geographic barrier eg mountain range, river, ocean, desert, can split a species into two populations which can no longer mix with each other. By splitting up a species into two separate populations a geographic barrier can lead to the formation of a new species. The two separate populations start to develop in isolation from each other. Different mutations will occur in the two populations and natural selection will adapt them to the slightly different conditions in the two areas. Given enough time the two populations will become so different that if they are brought together again they will no longer be able to interbreed ie they will have become two different species. This is called allopatric speciation.
What is the difference between geographic isolation and habitat differentiation?
Geographic isolation is when a population is separated by a river/canyon or some impassable terrain. Habitat isolation is when members of a population live in a different type of habitat, say some live in the forest at the bottom of the mountain, while others live further up the mountain. These would then become different populations and evolve to perhaps form two different species.
How is sympatric speciation similar to allopatric speciations?
allopatric speciation happens when a physical barrier divides two populations of the same species and sympatric speciation happen when no physical barrier divides the member of a population, but methods such as polyploidy (chromosome doubling) do not let the members of the species have fertile offspring, 2 species are formed (the parental "normal" species and the divergent species "polyploids"). Remember that a species is defined as a population that when mated with one another produce fertile offspring. A polyploid and a parental organisms can not produce fertile offspring together so they become two different species and speciation is said to have occurred.
Is a mountain abiotic or biotic?
Abiotic. A mountain is not alive.

Do bobcats and cougars interbreed?
No, but lynx/bobcat hybrids, while rare, are known to exist. Bobcats are known to interbreed with house cats however. The mountain lion (puma, cougar) is a much larger feline.

What was the name of the mountain that separated Britain with the native Americans?
It was no mountain - it was the Atlantic Ocean that separated Great Britain from the Americas and all the indigenous people that lived there.
How are new spiecies created?
If two or more populations of a single species are separated geographically, whether by mountain ranges, oceans, deserts or even small valleys, they will, over many generations, change to become different from the other populations, assuming there is no physical contact between them. This is due to mutations, which occur every generation, being acted upon by the different environments the populations find themselves in.
What mountain ranges separates spain and france?
France and Spain are separated by a mountain range known as the Pyrenees. France and Italy are separated by the Alps. Spain and Italy do not have a border and the Alps do not extend from Italy as far as Spain.
