2. The story of North America’s mountain ranges is arguably far more complex than that of any mountains from any other continent. Explain how the Appalachians and Rockies each came to be.

Possible Sources Appalachians Alps, Rockies, & Himalaya Rockies

3. How long have North & South America been connected? Retrace the contrasting tectonic paths of these two continents between breakup of Pangea and the present day. 7/ ?uid= &uid=2129& uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid= &s id= / ?uid= &uid=2129& uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid= &s id=

4. How has the formation of the Himalaya affected world climate? 5. What and where is Wallace’s Line? Wallacea? Explain the significance of this area from a biogeographical standpoint, contrasting the respective fates of Australia and East Asia.
