Question

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

Answer 1

They could have dispersed across water — for example by rafting on vegetation mats, island‑hopping via chains of emergent islands, or walking over temporary land bridges exposed during periods of lower sea level — allowing the same species to colonize distant continents before they became isolated by rising seas.
