dinos die then they float across the water
What else can I help you with?
Why are fossils found in differrent continents?
The Continents were combined to Pangea at first.
Why are the fossils of a Mesosaurus can only be found in South America and Africa?
The reason that Meosaurus fossils can only be found in South America and Africa is that the continents were all together at one time and Africa and South America were touching, at the point Mesosauruses roamed in that area, so when the continents split, the fossils went to different continents.
Paleontologists noticed that these were the same on different continents even though the continents were separated by ocean?
The same rocks and minerals from the same batch, dinosaur fossils dating back to the same time periods, natural landforms and structures can be found on completely separate continents. This evidence supports the Plate Techtonics and Continental Drift theories.
How many fossils were found in each continent?
Fossils have been found on all continents, including Antarctica. The number of fossils found varies greatly depending on the location and time period. Some continents, like North America and Europe, have a high concentration of fossil sites due to their geology and past environments.
What continents have monotremes fossils been found on?
Almost all monotreme fossils have been found in Australia. An exception is the fossil of a platypus-like creature named Monotrematus sudamericanum found in Argentina, within a Patagonian rock formation.
How did fossils provide evidence for continents drifts?
because if the same fossils were found in the same spot but on two different continents and if you put the continents together like a puzzle and the fossils were in the same spot, it would mean the continents drifted apart.
How can dinosaurs fossils be found on all continents if they don't like salt water?
alfred wegener gave theory on continental drift explaining that the continents were all at one point one big land mass called Pangea. using the fossils found on costs and the fact that the continents all fit together like puzzle proved it. but during his time the theory wasn't excepted because he couldn't explain why:)
What is 1 way you know that all the continents were connected at one point?
Pangea same rocks and animal fossils were found on many continents. There was a plant that grew on Africa and Antarctica at on point because the same plant fossils were found on those two continents
Dinosaur fossils have been found on every continent except?
Dinosaurs have been found on all 7 continents, even Antarctica.
How can you explain the fossils after continental drift?
Fossils found on separate continents that were once connected suggest that those current landmasses were once part of a single landmass. As continents drifted apart, the fossils remained in place, providing evidence for the theory of continental drift. This phenomenon supports the idea that the Earth's continents were once part of a supercontinent called Pangaea.
How can fossils help show that continental drift happened?
It can help show that continental drift happened, if you find the same fossils on different continents. This would mean that the continents had to be close together if the fossils are found on land.
How can lystrosaurus fossils be found on all continents if it cant swim?
Lystrosaurus fossils have been found on all continents due to the phenomenon of continental drift. During the time Lystrosaurus lived, around 250 million years ago, the continents were joined together in the supercontinent Pangaea, allowing these land-dwelling creatures to inhabit a continuous landmass. As the continents drifted apart over millions of years, the fossils remained, leading to their discovery in various locations today. This illustrates the historical continuity of land-based species before the separation of continents.
