Question

Scientists discovered similar fossils in rock masses on continents located both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.How does this discovery provide evidence supporting the theory plate of tectonics?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because these fossils would have had no way to get across the ocean, especially for large terrestrial animals. The continents used to be in different locations, allowing some animals to cross. These animals then died on different continents as they shifted, thereby proving that the continents used to be much closer than they are now.
