Final answer:

The statement is false; the study of where organisms live is termed bio geography, not continental drift. Bio geography involves understanding species distribution influenced by environment and evolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that the study of where organisms live is called continental drift is False. The correct term for the study of where organisms live and their distributions is bio geography.

Bio geography examines the distribution of living things on Earth, both in the present and the past, which includes understanding how the environment impacts species distribution and how tectonic plate movement has influenced the evolution and dispersal of species.

For instance, the presence of the plant family Procreate in Australia, southern Africa, and South America is explained by the fact that these areas were once part of the super continent Gondwanaland, before it broke up.
