| 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. |  |

It will relate because it essentially just breaks down geography and biogeography to it's simplist terms.

The continents go their shapes from when the supercontinent split and drifted apart. The animals that were on each continent when it split is now why they live where they live

The closer species are in terrestrial proximity, the more likely it is they have closer ancestral ties vs a species that is further away.

As things are separated by space and time they grow more distant (physiologically) from each other. Places that are closer together will have more similar species than places that are farther apart.

Animals and plants that are geographically close to one another are going to be more closely related because they adapt/evolve to the environment around them.

Plants and animals can be related to each other until they move to other places around the world and have to adapt to the environment which makes them different from each other.

Toblers law relates to the distribution of plants and animals because when they come from a certain continent then they shave similarties

when animals are in the same place there together/related to each other

It will relate because animals/plants share similarities with other species around the world, but organisms in the same area share way more similarities.

You will see more similarities and related things when closer together and less related when farther although there will be SOME similarities

The closer the animals are in geological location the more similar the animals will be.

The law relates to distributaries of plants and animals because those which are physically near one another are closely related than ones that are physically far away.

Plants and animals all around the world share similarities but when they are in the same area they share a lot more similarities.

Toblers Law of geography relates to the distribution of plants and animals because it explains how organisms from around the world are related but over time, they have adapted to the different environments in which they are located. This means many of the plants and animals in the same location share many of the same processes and characteristics.

This law connects to biogeography because it discusses how different animals are related based on their geography. Biogeography is the study of why things are where they are... so basically this law is discussing how biogeography effects how animals are related to each other.

more similarities would be present in species closer in geography due to developing similar adaptations

Places that are closer together will have similar species and places that are further away will be different because of adaptation causing them to become adaptable to there area causing them to change 8/24/2021 12:31:15 pm
Tobler's Law of geography relates to the distribution of plants and animals because, for example, an animal such as a cheetah is more closely related to a lion then a snow leopard. but a cheetah and a snow leopard.

Over time, closely related species grow more distant as the Earth changes & adapts, & yet can continue to share similar characteristics. However, species in closer proximity tend to share a greater amount of characteristics. Leave a Reply. |
