Answer:
- Glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock from an ice sheet match in distant regions
- Fossils of marsupials were originally the same across South America and Australia
- Cratons match across the edges of continents
Explanation:
South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia were all once part of one super-continent. This super-continent has been named Gondwanaland. As the geological processes got more intensive though and Gondwanaland separated into smaller land masses, continents, which we now know as the continents on the Southern Hemisphere. There are numerous clues that confirm that these continents were once connected. Some of the clues are the matching cratons on the edges of the continents, the glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock are also matching, lot of fossilized flora and fauna from the same species have been found in several of these continents, the marsupials in South America and Australia etc.

Answer:
b) At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will not change.
Explanation:
The Theory of Island Biogeography written by Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson (1967) is an essential book for any professional working in biogeography, biodiversity, ecology, conservation and related fields. The theory of island biogeography states that species diversity on islands tends to approach a dynamic equilibrium due to the balance between colonization (inmigration), speciation and extinction. At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will change, precisely at the time that immigration and extinction processes maintain the number of species in a dynamic equilibrium, thereby maintaining species diversity. In this case, the colonization rate represents a function of distance to the continent (or other islands), the extinction rate is a function of the size of the island and habitat heterogeneity, and speciation is a function of time. This book also contains a series of useful considerations: 1-the number of species in an area is directly associated with the size of the area; 2-large islands support more diverse communities than small islands; 3-the viability of populations on island systems can be considered as a function of the island size and its proximity to the mainland (or other islands); and 4- when a habitat is lost the remaining fragmented area may lose some of its important species.
