Some examples of physical barriers that limit dispersal include mountain ranges, rivers, oceans, deserts, and urban areas. These barriers can block the movement of individuals or species, impacting their ability to reach new habitats or populations.
Explosive splitting enables the seed to be dispersed only around the parent plant, and not as far as other methods of dispersal, such as animal dispersal, of which the seeds can be dispersed for as many as a few kilometers.
Organisms that drift with the ocean's currents include plankton, jellyfish, and larvae of marine organisms. These organisms rely on ocean currents for transportation, dispersal, and feeding opportunities as they move through the water column.
The new insect species may face competition for resources such as food, shelter, and mates with existing species in the area, limiting its dispersal. The established species might outcompete the new insect and prevent it from establishing populations in different habitats. Intraspecific competition among the new insect individuals themselves can also limit their dispersal to areas with more favorable conditions.
Three mechanisms for seed dispersal are wind dispersal (seeds carried by wind currents), animal dispersal (seeds carried by animals), and water dispersal (seeds carried by water currents). Adaptations for seed dispersal include structures like wings or hairs on seeds that aid in wind dispersal, fruit that attracts animals to eat and disperse seeds, and buoyant seed coats that enable water dispersal.
Three factors that are limit dispersal of a species are physical barriers, competition, and climate.

wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal and mechanical dispersal
Explosive splitting enables the seed to be dispersed only around the parent plant, and not as far as other methods of dispersal, such as animal dispersal, of which the seeds can be dispersed for as many as a few kilometers.
One disadvantage of explosion seed dispersal is that it can limit the distance that seeds can travel compared to other dispersal methods. Additionally, the energy required for the explosion mechanism can be costly for the plant in terms of resources. Lastly, seeds dispersed by explosion may not always land in suitable habitats for germination and growth.
wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal and mechanical dispersal
by wind
a fish can swim by a couple of seeds and swim somewhere else and drop them off.
It depends what kind of ocean.
