The deep channel that separates Bali from Lombok also happens to be home to one of the most important imaginary lines in the world: The Wallace Line. It follows the subterranean fault lines: from the southern reaches of Bali and Lombok up to the deep Makassar Straits that split Sulawesi and Borneo.
Study with Quizlet and memorize flashcards containing terms like The Indonesian islands of Bali and Lombok are about the same size, close together, and feature similar habitats, but are on opposite sides of Wallace's line. What does this tell you about them?, As the climate changes, habitats change and species have to adapt or die off. What characteristic can help make a species more adaptable The Wallace Line separates the Oriental (Asian) fauna to the west from the Australasian fauna to the east. The original Wallace Line ran between Bali and Lombok, extending northward between Borneo/Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and between the Philippines and Indonesia.The Wallace Line separates the Oriental (Asian) fauna to the west from the Australasian fauna to the east (Fig. 1). The original Wallace Line ran between Bali and Lombok, extending northward between Borneo/Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and between the Philippines and Indonesia.
This video is about the Wallace Line. It was discovered by Alfred Russel Wallace, one of the biologists credited with working with Darwin in the Theory of Evolution. It is the starkest boundary of life on the planet. This observation was one of the early pieces of evidence in supporting the theory of plate tectonics.Between these two regions of opposite gradient is a region in which contour lines trend north-south. In geochemical studies, there are differences in the chemical characters of the Quaternary volcanic rocks of Lombok, Sumbawa and Bali on the one side and Flores on the other side.
