A evolutionary lineage shows a relationship between the descents with their common ancestors. The evolutionary lineage consists of species, individuals and taxa specific to the descents and the ancestors.
The evolutionary lineages can be demonstrated using phylogenetic trees. In the branching pattern of the phylogenetic tree reflects the relationship between species or group of organisms based on the similarities and how these are evolved from the common ancestors.
An evolutionary lineage is a temporal series of organisms, populations, cells, or genes connected by a continuous line of descent from ancestor to descendant. Lineages are subsets of the evolutionary tree of life. Lineages are often determined by the techniques of molecular systematics.
It effects it because there's a possibility it can reduce the mountains to a smaller structure (breaking down), like a plateau, which would for sure leave a change in the landforms
