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. 5th grader words please

1 answer

Fossils of the same species found on different continents might show that those continents were once connected by land, even if it wasn't a supercontinent. Over time, movements of the Earth's crust could have separated the continents, but the animals or plants could have lived there together before that happened.
