Question

Fossil evidence has been used to understand the movement of continental plates. The figure below shows where fossils of several species have been found. What can you predict about more modern organisms that lived 100 million years after these species?

a) Most modern species would have ranges like Glossopteris because the continents are closer together today.

b) Most modern species would be in South America, because as the plates moved they would separate from other, uninhabited lands.

c) More modern species would have a smaller range because the plates are farther apart today.

d) Modern species would be able to migrate in a pattern like Lystrosaurus because India and Antarctica are closer together today.

Answer 1

c) More modern species would have a smaller range because the plates are farther apart today.
