What is the difference between plucking and abrasion

Biology
1 answer:

Abrasion takes place when stones become embedded in the glacier, as the glacier moves these stones slowly scratch along the surface of the ground below. Abrasian acts similarly to sandpaper, leaving a fairly smooth surface to the rock it has worn down.
Plucking takes place when the glacier has been fairly stationary for a while, so patches of rock from the ground below have become frozen to the glacier. When the glacier then moves, this patch of ground is forced out of the ground as it is attached to the glacier itself. As you can probably imagine, this leaves behind a much more jagged, uneven surface.

Many species of organisms are found only on islands. Lemurs are found only on Madagascar and koalas only on Australia. Which fac
satela [25.4K]
The answer is C. Genetic Isolation.

Genetic isolation occurs when there is no genetic exchange between organisms of the population or species. One of the reasons that cause genetic isolation is geographical separation. The reason why some species of koalas are only found in Australia and lemurs in Madagascar is that they cannot mate with other species outside of their geographical boundary.
