Question

  1. which of the following is not fossil evidence that supports wegners theory of continental drift? fossils are found in areas with a present - day climate that would not support the organism. the fossils that are found on one continent can be very different from those on another continent. similar fossils are found in africa and antarctica of a large reptile unable to swim across the ocean. similar fossils are found along the coastlines of continents that appear to fit together.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Wegener's continental drift theory is supported by fossil evidence showing: organisms' fossils in climates unfit for them now, matching fossils on continents that fit together, and identical non-swimming species on separated continents. Fossils differing between continents does not support the theory, as the theory implies continents were once connected with shared ecosystems.

Answer:

The fossils that are found on one continent can be very different from those on another continent.
