There are some same species of both plants and animals located on separated continents. This is because the continents were all at one point joined together in one super continent: Pangea, but separated some 200 million years ago.

When the continents aeparated some of the same species ended up on different continents this was due from?

The continents used to be one continent. The species all lived on one continent since there was only one, so they were distributed throughout. However, when the continent began to split and more continents formed, these species were separated. Then, evolution and adaptation began to set in (as it had before though) and these species became even more different from each other.

Why do my Mexican friends say there are only 5 continents though I learned there are 7?

There are different ways of counting the continents in different parts of the world. English-speakers learn of seven continents (Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia). Spanish-speakers combine North and South America as one continent - America and ignore Antarctica since it is uninhabited. This is how they get five continents (Asia, America, Africa, Europe, and Australia).


How does coal distribution support the Theory of Continental Drift?

Coal can be found underneath the cold and dry Antarctic ice cap, though coal can only form in warm and wet conditions. This could mean that Antarctica was once together with the other continents as part of the Pangaea, and was once in a warm and humid region
