| Central Question: How did the continents get their shape, and how does that impact the distribution of plants and animals? Guiding Thought Question: Explain how Tobler's Law of geography will relate to the distribution of plants and animals around the planet's surface. Today's Learning Objective: Students will examine the connections between the movement of the continents and the impact that has on the distribution of plants and animals. Students will be able to explain the mechanisms by which that happens, and the observations that led scientists to develop the theory. |  |

Tobler's law explains animal and plant distribution because plants rely on animals to move them (stuck on fur/pooping seeds/pollination) and animals follow the plants as a source of food, which then makes their prey follow them

Plants and animals will be similar in close proximity because the environment is the same and the resources are also the same. This allows for not a lot of variety.

animals will help distribute seeds.

Both plants and animals will spread through close areas, so most places will look similar.

Plants and animals that are in the same area are similar because they have the same resources and habitat.

Animals help to spread animals as well as plant eating animals will follow the plant they eat

Animals and plants that are in a close area will look similar rather than animals that are spread out like in a different country

Animals evolve more as they move farther away and into different climates, becoming more adapted to wherever they move.

Plants and animals will help each other survive and will be in the same general area all the time

All plants and animals are related. Plants and animals that are closer to each other will be more similar to each other than plants and animals that are further from each other

The further apart living things are located, the more different they will become and vice versa

Plants in a close area have the same challenges for example dry weather or some predators. the further away the relating plants they have different adaptations for the area. animals such as birds spread the seeds.

Plants and animals are similar if they live in a close proximity because they have the same environment and resources.

Plant and animal distribution relate to tobler’s law by the way that plants and animals that used to be close to each other on pangea are similar and have common ancestors. They also need similar resources considering the sharing of habitat.

When the continents shifted there were different plants and animals that stayed on those land masses.

The plants and animals that are in the same area will have a similar distribution. The distribution will not be related when looking at different continents or climates.

Plants and animals are related because animals distribute plants/seeds, so they would be near each other

That in general everything is related but if theyre closer theyre more realted because they live in similar envirements

Tobler's law shows that things closer together will be more alike because they have similar adaptations, but ones that are farther away may have adapted differently so they aren't as alike.

Animals in similar climates and geographic regions will have more similar adaptations and common ancestors than Animals in different climate regions and continents.

Tobler's Law shows animals rely on plants and vice versa. Have the same environment and resources.

Animals have adaptations to live in their climate. These adaptations are similar to other species. Plants and animals from another area would need to have different adaptations to survive there Leave a Reply. |
