Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.

In complete sentences, discuss the three major religions in Western Europe. Which is the most dominant religion, and how has it
weeeeeb [17]

The tree largest religions in Western Europe are the Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.

Depending on the county in Western Europe, there are differences in the type of Christianity type practiced, with the Catholicism and Protestantism being the most dominant ones. The Islam is the second largest religion, relatively new in this part of the continent and also a relatively quick growing one. The Judaism is the third largest religion in this part of Europe, but it has much less followers than the top two. The atheism is worth mentioning, despite not being a religion but the opposite of it, as the non-religious population in Western Europe is actually the second largest one, in front of the Islam and Judaism.

The culture of this region has largely been shaped and set on the foundations of the Christianity, mostly the Catholicism, with later diverging fraction of it. The Church has played a big role in the societies, politics, economy of this region for almost two millenniums, so it is carved in the cultural aspects of the nations living there.
