托福阅读句子插入题:Speciation in Geographically Isolated Populations
【Paragraph 4】Allopatric speciation can also be brought by the imperceptibly slow but colossal movements of the tectonic plates that make up Earth’s surface. ■About 5 million years ago such geologic movements created the land bridge between North America and South America that we call the Isthmus of Panama. The formation of the isthmus had important consequences for global patterns of ocean water flow. ■While previously the gap between the continents had allowed a free flow of water, now the isthmus presented a barrier that divided the Atlantic Ocean from the Pacific Ocean. ■This division set the stage for allopatric speciation among populations of fishes and other marine species. ■(Speciation in Geographically Isolated Populations)
