Contental drift plays a large role in the pace of evolution among land animals. Through a process called speciation, which is what occurs when land animals are separated from other like animals, these animals cannot interbreed so they change in order to adapt to their new environment. This evolution of same but separate animal groups occurs independantly of each other and will have different outcomes,and the animals will evolveÊnew and different attributes.

What has the author D H Tarling written?
D. H. Tarling has written: 'Continental drift and biological evolution' -- subject(s): Continental drift, Evolution 'Palaeomagnetism' -- subject(s): Paleomagnetism 'Continental drift' -- subject(s): Continental drift 'Palaeomagnetism & Diagenesis in Sediments'
How did the theory of continental drift related to the theory of evolution?
it doesnt relate in any way. Theory of Evolution started way before dinosaurs roamed our beloved planet. Theory of Continental Drift happened shortly after when Dino's were wiped out.
What are 2 ways that continental drift might affect evolution?
Climate Change, law of unifromitariusm
Why the continental drift is not rubbish?
We have proof that continental drift is not rubbish. The proof is that animals that don't live or ever have lived in that space are found (but rarely) in those places where they don't/never have live in.
What is the very slow movement of the continents is called?
Continental Drift
When you right continental drift does it have to be capitalized?
No, only Continental Drift Theory.
Can a cyclone create continental drift?
No; continental drift is a geological process.
What does provide evidence for continental drift?
Is there a list? Continental drift is real, so religious fanatics don't provide evidence for continental drift.
Did the plate tectonics theory derive from the evolution of the continental drift theory?
Yes, the plate tectonics theory developed from the earlier continental drift theory. The continental drift theory, proposed by Alfred Wegener in the early 20th century, suggested that continents were once joined together and drifted apart. Plate tectonics, developed in the mid-20th century, expanded on this by incorporating the movement of Earth's lithosphere plates and explaining the processes driving continental drift.
What theory replaced Wegener's hypothesis of continental drift?
I think that continetal drift replaced his theory
How has continental drift affected the distribution of plants and animals around the world?
Continental drift has led to the separation and isolation of species, creating diverse ecosystems and unique biodiversity in different regions. It has also influenced the evolution of species, promoting speciation and adaptation to new environments. Some species have become endemic to specific regions due to the movement of continents.
What resulted in the formation of the super continent?
D) Continental drift, Pangea
