| Central Question: Why is the sun so influential in connection to species diversity? Guiding Thought Question: Based on the homework reading assignment explain what the Wallace Line is and what it tells us about the geological history of Australia and Asia. What evidence is there to support Wallace's theory? Today's Learning Objective: Students will learn the connection between latitude and altitude to species diversity and the role the sun has in supporting life on the planet. |  |

The Wallace Line is the imaginary boundary that helps separate the species diversity between Australia and Asia. Evidence of the theory includes patterns shown throughout plants and animals along with where they were/are located

The Wallace Line is a line cutting through Oceania that splits the South East Asian Biogeographic Realm with the Australasian Biogeographic Realm. This tells us that the areas on one side of this line have more geologic history together, and were likely closer together at one time.

The Wallace line is the boundary that runs between Asia and Australia. The two sides have a different evolutionary history which causes distinct differences between the species on each side. Leave a Reply. |
