The correct answer is Option C) The environments of Australia and Asia are completely different, despite their relative close proximity.
The naturalist and father of zoo - geography Alfred Russel Wallace noted a distinct difference in the fauna between several islands in the Malay Archipelago (present-day Indonesia). He used these differences to delineate the boundary between the Australian and Oriental biogeographic realms. The reason behind this difference is that the environments of Australia and Asia are completely different, despite they are in a very close proximity relatively.
<h3>Why is the environment of Australia and Asia different?</h3>
The Wallace line is a boundary line drawn by British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace on the basis of difference in fauna in the year 1859 between Asia and Australia. The reason and the root cause behind this faunal distinction is that the ancient supercontinent named Gondwana was separated entirely from other parts of the world when Pangaea broke up. The current Australia and the smaller islands were a part of Gondwana and this is why their fauna is so different from that of South - East Asia, even if they are very close together relatively.

Answer:
the thickness changes by getting thicker and more dense
Explanation:
I know this because in the data it shows that the thickness and density numbers/measurements of each of the layers of the earth are enlarging
The appropriate response is Oasis. It is shaped from underground streams or aquifers, for example, an artesian aquifer, where water can achieve the surface normally by weight or by man-made wells. Periodic brief rainstorms give underground water to manage common desert gardens, for example, the Tuat. Substrata of impermeable shake and stone can trap water and hold it in pockets, or on long blaming subsurface edges or volcanic barriers water can gather and permeate to the surface.
Answer:
The universe is comprised of more than 75% of materials that are not visible and are often considered to be the dark matter. These are the baryonic matter that is formed due to the accumulation of protons, neutrons as well as electrons. They can be baryonic or non-baryonic type of matter. These dark matters are the substance that interconnects mostly by gravity along with some visible matter such as the stars and planets. These matters do not reflect light and they attract other matters, forming the major mass of the entire universe.
False, several other living things have been found on planets such as mars.
