What prevented early plants from moving far from water is that they dried out easily.
What else can I help you with?
Does most photosynthesis happen in land plants or in water plants in the ocean?
Most photosynthesis occurs in land plants. This is because there is more light available on land than in the deeper regions of the ocean where water plants are found. However, ocean plants like phytoplankton also play a significant role in global carbon fixation due to their vast numbers.
Which protists are in the same eukaryotic supergroup as land plants?
Protists in the supergroup Archaeplastida are in the same eukaryotic supergroup as land plants. This supergroup includes red algae, green algae, and land plants, which all share a common ancestor that underwent primary endosymbiosis with a cyanobacterium.
Some of the land plants names?
This question is a little ridiculous. The number of different plants that grow on land number in the millions. To name even .001% would take days of typing for even the fastest typist. Nonetheless, here is 10 that first come to mind: Poison Ivy Sunflower Roses Daffodils Tulips Morning Glories Venus Fly Traps Potatoes Mint Oregano
What is the structural difference between algae and land plants?
One key structural difference between algae and land plants is that algae lack true roots, stems, and leaves, while land plants have well-defined vascular tissues that support them. Algae also lack specialized structures for reproduction, such as flowers or cones, which are present in many land plants. Additionally, algae typically have a simpler body structure compared to the more complex structures seen in land plants.
What is example of one of the first land plants to evolve?
One of the first land plants to evolve was likely green algae, which transitioned from aquatic environments to terrestrial habitats around 450 million years ago. These plants laid the foundation for the development of more complex land plants such as mosses and ferns.

What evidence do paleobotanists look for that indicates the movement of plants from water to land?
Paleobotanists look for evidence such as the presence of cuticles and stomata on plant fossils, as these structures are adaptations that help plants retain water on land. They also look for changes in root morphology that indicate plants transitioning from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Additionally, the presence of spores or pollen in the fossil record can suggest the early colonization of land by plants.
How can plants survive in land?

How the physical geography of an area either aids or hinder the movement of people?
The psychical properties in an area will aid peoples depending what kind of people they are, if they are war like people then a mountainous terrain will be better for them. If the people are farmers then flat grounds will be the best for them but it really depends on what type of people you are. Different types of land will benefit different people.
What would have most likely occurred if plants had not begun to live on land?
If plants had not evolved to live on land, it is likely that terrestrial ecosystems would have remained dominated by non-plant organisms such as fungi, bacteria, and algae. This would have drastically altered the development of terrestrial ecosystems and likely impacted the evolution of animals that rely on plants for food and habitat.
What variations would help a land plants survive if long lasting drought develop?
what variation would helpa land plant survive if long lasting droughts developed?
Were was most of egypts fertile land?
On the banks of the nile. In the process of a year the egyptians would plant, the nile would flood and nourish the plants, then the water would draw back, then it would leave a layer of smooth dirt that would leave the plants very fertile, and then the plants would grow strong.
