Answer 1

ago and were found in a location that is now too cold for them to grow. This suggests that the landmass where the fossils were found must have drifted from a warmer region to its current location. This supports the theory of continental drift, which states that continents have moved over time due to the movement of tectonic plates. The plant fossils provide physical evidence of this movement and help to piece together the puzzle of Earth's geological history.
