Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: The isolation of land areas by sea-floor spreading, the uplift of new cordilleras, the emergence of new archipelagos and the disappearance of old ones, and the shifting positions of (some)land-masses have both created and destroyed environ- ments to which biota have responded. In this sense, changing physical environ- ments governed by plate tectonics have had a major role in evolutionary history. Plate tectonic theory thus provides a more reliable basis for analyzing changes in land-sea relations and changes in climates, and hence for interpreting problems of evolution and distribution, than has been available earlier
