Bot 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.
This could be possible if the fossils on the continents were deposited a long time ago when the continents were connected as one landmass, and then due to plate tectonics and continental drift, the landmass eventually broke apart and the continents drifted apart to their current positions.
If fossils of the same life form species have been found on continents now separated by oceans, it suggests that these continents were once part of the same landmass or connected via land bridges during a period when the oceans did not exist or were much narrower.
Fossils of the same life form species found on continents now divided by oceans could indicate that these continents were once connected in the past, forming a supercontinent, and have since drifted apart due to the process of plate tectonics.
