Question

which two pieces of fossil evidence support the idea of continental drift?
o bacteria and petrified wood
o glossopteris and bacteria
o lystrosaurus and glossopteris
o petrified wood and tyrannosaurus

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The fossils of Lystrosaurus (a land - dwelling reptile) and Glossopteris (a plant) were found on different continents that are now separated. This distribution supports the idea that the continents were once joined and have since drifted apart. Bacteria fossils are too widespread and not as indicative of continental movement, and petrified wood and Tyrannosaurus fossils do not have the same continental - drift - related distribution patterns as Lystrosaurus and Glossopteris.

Answer:

C. Lystrosaurus and Glossopteris
