Geologist discovered fossils of identical spider mites from the same time period but on opposite sides of the ocean from each other what conclusion is supported by the discovery of these fossils?

Question

The climate was much cooler during the time that mites lived
The mites were extraordinary swimmers
The locations of the fossils were once much closer to each other
The locations of the fossils were once vast swamp lands

Answer 1

The conclusion supported by the discovery of fossils of identical spider mites from the same time period on opposite sides of the ocean is that the locations of the fossils were once much closer to each other. This suggests that the continents were once connected or at least that the environment allowed for the migration of these species across what is now the ocean.
