Answer:

The three pressures that lead to biodiversity according to E.O. Wilson’s theory of island biogeography are immigration, island area and extinction.

Explanation:

Wilson´s theory predicts a dynamic equilibrium with a constant  number of species through time from a balance between immigration and extinction. Wilson’s theory of island biogeography says that when the number of species increases, the immigration will drop and Extinction will increases with the number on species of the islands.At a given time, species richness on island is saturated for a new species to colonize as an immigrant, an  existing resident species have  to become locally extinct  due to competition with other species for resources.

Wilson predicts that species  richness increases with island area but decreases with isolation

  • In the formation of a fold, compressive forces acts towards each other and causes the buckling of a rock mass.
  • This leads to the formation of series of synclines and anticlines.
