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.

1 answer

The presence of the same life form fossils on different continents could be explained by the theory of continental drift, where landmasses gradually moved apart over millions of years, or by the idea of land bridges that existed during lower sea levels, allowing species to migrate between regions before they became isolated by oceans. Additionally, it may also suggest that these species were capable of long-distance dispersal across water or that the continents were once connected in different ways, even without forming a supercontinent.
