Geographic formation, are components of a planet that can be referred to as locations, sites, areas, or regions (and therefore may show up on maps). There are natural geographic features, abstract geographic features, and on Earth there are also artificial geographic features. Natural geographic features include landforms and ecosystems. Landforms are terrain types and bodies of water. Ecosystems are natural units consisting of all plants, animals and microorganisms (biotic factors) in an area functioning together with all of the non-living physical (abiotic) factors of the environment.[1] Ecosystems come in many types and sizes, including ecozones, biomes (natural habitats such as tundra and forests), ecoregions, and many others. Abstract geographic features include politically designated areas and cartographical features (such as the Equator). Artificial geographic features include settlements and engineered constructs (such as dams, highways, and bridges).

How can islation lead to formation of new species?

Allopatric Speciation (geographic isolation) can lead to the formation of a new species because the population is split in two smaller populations by a physical barrier (river, canyon, mountain...).


Which is a geographic example of a continental collision is?

The collision between the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate that led to the formation of the Himalayas is a geographic example of a continental collision. This collision continues to uplift the Himalayas, creating some of the world's tallest mountains.


When does geographic isolation occur?

Geographic isolation occurs when a physical barrier, such as a mountain range, river, or body of water, separates a population into two or more distinct groups. This isolation prevents the groups from interbreeding, leading to genetic divergence and potentially the formation of new species over time.
