SPACE
type
number
form & function
the earth's crust has
slowly drifted about the globe
at times plates are isolated ;
at other times, conjoined ;
their passenger biotas may thus evolve
depending on circumstances:
at times in isolation - restricted but protected
at other times they may
gain access to wider geographic areas
- can spread, but exposed to competition
