Question

the drawing shows the distribution of four different fossils across several continents. all of these fossils formed during the same period, about 200 million years ago. how do these fossils support the theory of plate tectonics? a they show that life on earth has changed over time. b they show that sedimentary rocks can be found in many different places. c they show that the continents were once joined together. d they show that both plants and animals lived in the past.

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics suggests that the Earth's continents were once joined together in a super - continent and have since drifted apart. Fossils of the same species found on different continents that formed at the same time support the idea that these continents were once connected.

Answer:

C. They show that the continents were once joined together.
