The most supported conclusion by the discovery of identical spider mite fossils on opposite sides of the ocean is that the locations of these fossils were once much closer to each other. This suggests that the landmasses were connected at some point in the past, allowing the spider mites to inhabit those areas before continental drift separated them. This aligns with the concept of plate tectonics, which explains how continents can move over geological time.
