How does a plant get fossilized?
aging
A plant fossil called glossopteris was found on numerous continents true or false?
True
What was the fossilized reptile found in S America and in Africa that was used for evidence for continental drift?
The fossilized reptile found in South America and Africa that provided evidence for continental drift is called Mesosaurus. Mesosaurus was a freshwater reptile that lived about 300 million years ago and its presence on both continents suggested that they were once connected. This finding supported the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener.
What is the continentals theory about how it moves?
Wegner's theory, people didn't believe him at first then people figured it out from his research. things thts prove it are rock fossils were found on several continents and plant and animal fossils were found on other continent that couldn't go across the atlantic or pacific ocean and the continents fit together like a puzzle and also, climate is the same on continents that are across the ocean and even the world.
What is the fossil that was found on different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift?
There was a lot of fossils that were found but the most interesting one is the plant called Glossopteris, it was the only seed-fern plant fossil found.
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
Is a petrified wood in the desert a fossil?
Yes it is a fossilized plant, usually a tree part.
The name of a fossil that was found on different continents?
Glossopteris is a fossil plant that has been found on multiple continents, including South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and India. It is an important indicator of the past connections between these landmasses when they were part of the supercontinent Gondwana.
Can poop fossilize?
Yes, feces can be fossilized. That is called coprolite.
How do scientists know about continents once existing of landmasses?
There are two main evidences for this: 1. The continents fit together like a puzzle 2. There are both extant and extinct animal and plant species present on several continents that are not connected
How can fossils be clues to the continental drift?
Fossils can be clues to continental drift because certain plant and animal species are found only in specific regions, and when the continents were connected these species could migrate between them. Matching fossils found on different continents can suggest that these landmasses were once joined together before drifting apart. Additionally, identical or related fossils found on separate continents can indicate a common ancestry when the continents were once together and later separated.
What are wegeners clues of the jigsaw puzzle?
Wegener's clues for the theory of continental drift included the fit of the continents like a jigsaw puzzle, matching rock formations and mountain ranges across continents, and similarities in plant and animal fossils found on different continents. These clues provided evidence for the movement of the continents over time.
