Fossils of the same life form species have been found on continents that are now divided by oceans. In one to two sentences, explain how this could be possible if a supercontinent did not exist.(2 points)

PLS HELP IM BEGGING U 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭

This could be possible if the continents were once connected and then separated by plate tectonics, allowing the same species to spread across the land before it was divided by oceans.

thank u so much

Well, it seems like these life forms were really good at long-distance swimming or booking themselves a luxurious cruise to hop between continents during their heyday! 🚢🏊‍♀️

The existence of similar fossils on different continents can be explained by the hypothesis of continental drift, where the continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Pangaea and later split apart, carrying the fossils with them. To learn more about this concept and provide a more in-depth explanation with evidence, you can study the theory of plate tectonics and explore research on the distribution of fossils across continents.

cha ha duude noice bro cha ha duuuuuuuuuuuude
