Different environmental challenges.
Each group will adapt to suit their respective environment and will eventually diverge completely.
I am a geologist and I know of no theory of "geologic evolution". "Evolution" as defined by Darwin describes the origin of species based on the survival of the fittest. This certainly can not be applied to geological processes, although life is integral to geology.
Its Evolution, so it is to make the species more adapted to its environment, all animals go through evolution, but some do stop for a while if there is no need for the animal to no longer adapt, and is sutible for its environment already. for example, if polar bears were not near snow, and instead in Africa, everntually there coats will no longer be white, and become less thick.
There is no "end goal" in the evolutionary process, nor does it ever stop - it may stagnate within species for a period of time, until environmental conditions change. The structure and replication method of DNA make mutations, and therefore evolution, unavoidable and continuous as long as there is life.
An Ecosystem is an environment or a culture within which the conditions or resources necessary for sustaining a number of organisms or species exist, which in turn, constitute and sustain the ecosystem in and of itsself.

The evolution of numerous species, such as Darwin's finches from a single ancestor is called adaptive radiation.

evolution from a distant common ancestor
Evolutionary theory can account for the phenomenon of a new species. This is because different species can evolve from a common ancestor.
Some types of evolution are;1. Macroevolution: large evolutionary change, evolution of new species from a common ancestor, evolution of one species into two or more2. Microevolution: small scale, change in gene frequencies within a population over time, changes in population accumulate, they can lead to a new species
They both employ the same mechanism: adaptation. The difference is that in one case, subpopulations diverge to adapt to differing circumstances, and in the other, separate species adapt to similar circumstances.
