Where organisms occur depends on a number of factors: geological history, shifts in climate, and the phylogenetic history of the lineage. Be able to explain why this is the case Geological history: continental drift, glaciation (ex: formation of the Bering Land Bridge connecting Asia and North America) Historical shifts in climate: range breaks due to historical local extinctionsPhylogenic history: phylogenetic conservatism of species' range limits, divergence of the range limits What is the d...

WX 201 Exam 2 with correct Answers (Graded A) Generally, the concentration of condensation nuclei is greater over the oceans than over land. False If a city receives 24 inches of snow, it is the equivalent to 18 inches of rain. False An important factor in the production of rain by the collision-coalescence process is the number of ice crystals in the cloud. False In a cloud composed of water droplets and ice crystals, the saturation vapor pressure is less over the droplets th...
