Question
Chapter 39, Problem 14WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
“If the supercontinent Pangea would never break into smaller different land masses, than their biodiversity would be more, less or same amount of biodiversity as today”.
Concept introduction:
During the continental drift, different land pieces or isolated continents moved relative to each other through slow drifting. When two different continents get detached from single land mass they show resemblances in species as the species present on these continents come in contact and compete for the
