continents
Continents are the huge land-masses that humans and land animals live on. Some of the continents are connected but for the most part they are separated and very diverse.There are 7 continents:North AmericaSouth AmericaEuropeAfricaAsiaAustraliaAntarctica.
The existence in the fossil record of the same land species on several continents. Since these animals are not seafaring then the continents must have been connected at one time. Also continental drift is supported by vast empirical evidence.
Animals ended up evolving in to the modern day animals today because the work use to be connected together into one big supercontinent then it all separtated into smaller continents and eventually became like the world we know today. As all the continents separated the animals changed as well. This is because the climates changed as the continents changed so the animals evolved to suit those conditions. For example most of the native animals of Australia are very different to the ones anywhere else in the world this is because Australia has been separated from the rest of the world for an extremely long time so the animals have evolved differently from animals anywhere else in the world.
