Why Wegener interested in finding fossils of the same plants and animals on two different continents?

Answer 1

The answer is quite simple. Millions and billions of years ago, the Earth was one land. This was called Pangea. However, due to plate techtonics, they move the land around and over time, these lands split apart. After enough time has elasped, these gaps would become oceans. For example, when the continents were together as pangaea the animals roamed freely, but when they split apart the animals were split up. So a plant or animal fossil may be the same on the eastern coast of South America as it is on the western coast of Africa.

Answer 2

Wegener used the theory of continental drift explain fossils on different continents. he thought that all the continents were connected at one time and they shared the same plat and animal life. This is why fossils of the same animals are found across oceans.

Answer 3

Because those continents that display the same plant and animal fossils were once joined together and were subsequently separated by lithospheric plate divergence.

Answer 4

the organism ccould be developing in diifernt parts of the world

Answer

The different continents were contiguous--one land mass--many thousands of years ago.

Answer 5

they r found because ween the continents drift apart they have many things on them and every thing on it goes with the plate that moves to a new posh-ion

Answer 6

He reasoned that if the continents had once been joined,fossils of the same plants and animals should be found in areas that had once been connected.

Answer 7

the organisms have been evolving separately for very long periods

Answer 8

Fossils of different species are found in different climates because the continents were once together and make the supercontinent call Pangaea>

Answer 9

Because of their search/hunting needs.

Answer 10

they were drifted
