What else can I help you with?
Why do you think our plants continents look the way they do today?
The shape of the continents is mainly due to water erosion.
What evidence suggests the continents were once all together but the drifted apart?
smiliar fossils and plants, matching of the continents as a jig-saw puzzle, remaining of tropical plants
What continents has the fewest flowering plants?
Antarctica is the continent that has the fewest flowering plants.
Explain why similar plants and animals are found in the continents of Africa south America Australia and India?
explain why similar plants and animals found in the continents of africa , south america,australia and india
Australia is so far from other ones of these that it has unique animals and plants?
continents
You have heard that there have been plants found in Antartca that have also been seen in Australia Are there any other continents like this?

What is the that items that provided evidence that the continents were once closer together?
There are two basic evidences to support this theory: 1. Animals or plants of the same species can be found on separated continents (for example, Africa and Australia or North America and Europe) naturally, and have not been placed by man. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, allowing the animals and plants to disperse. 2. The continents all seem to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. This must mean all the continents were previously connected, but have since broken off and their Coastlines have eroded since then, which explains why they do not perfectly fit together.

Why don't the present shaped of the continents fit perfectly into a super continents?
As the continents moved further apart, natural erosion of the coastlines removed and added to the basic shape over billions of years. Much of the evidence relates to the similarities of plants and animals found on now separate continents. Geological evidence points to Antarctica was once further north and had a tropical climate!

How might the locations of lytrosaurus fossils be seen as evidence that the continents were once together?
It seems to prove that these continents were once close enough to each other that animals and plants could easily move between them through land.
Strong evidence that two continents were once joined might include similarities in?
The current locations of rivers emptying into the ocean, similar coastal rock formations and fossil types, and similar plants growing on the continents today.
