Wegener observed evidence of fossils of the same plants and animals on separate continents. which of the following best describes how these organisms end up thousands of kilometers away from each other? (3 points) species identification continental drift glacier formation plant diversity

The correct answer is option (B) continental drift.

Continental drift is a theory explaining the movement of the earth’s continents over the geological time scale, drifting across the ocean bed. It was proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1912. Similar plants and animal fossils found around the shores of the different continents suggests that these continents were once joined as a single super continent named Pangaea. This Pangaea broke up long ago and the continents moved to their current positions. The ancient fossils of the same species of plants and animals were found on rocks of the same age but on the continents that are now widely separated.

i know for a fact

imagine a line passing through the center of earth that goes through both the north pole and the south pole. this imaginary line is called an axis. earth spins around its axis, just as a top spins around its spindle. this spinning movement is called earth's rotation. at the same time that the earth spins on its axis, it also orbits, or revolves around the sun. this movement is called revolution.
