Question

which of the following best describes why so animal fossils have been discovered on oppos:he atlantic ocean?
a some animals could cross the ocean.
b strong winds and storms blew them ther
c the continents were one once large land
d nomadic people from different continent them there.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

This is explained by the continental drift theory, which states that all continents were once part of a single supercontinent (Pangaea). Animals lived across this continuous landmass, and as continents drifted apart over millions of years, their fossils were left on now-separated continents on opposite sides of the Atlantic. The other options are not scientifically supported as the primary reason: most land animals could not cross the wide Atlantic, wind/storms cannot transport large animal fossils across an ocean, and nomadic humans did not exist when these ancient fossils were formed.

Answer:

C. The continents were one once large land
