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 Ontario, what type of land use should be given priority: agriculture, recreation, conversion, or residential usage? Explain w
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Residential land use should be given priority in Ontario.

Explanation:

Ontario is the most populous province in Canada. Its approximately 15 million inhabitants make up 40% of the country's total population. Within the province is Toronto, the most important city in Canada, as well as Ottawa, the national capital, and other important cities such as Hamilton or London, among others.

Ontario is, in essence, Canada's economic engine. Its largest production is industrial, with different industrial and technological poles spread throughout the province. For example, in the city of London, the main industry is automotive production, while in Hamilton there are a large number of steel industries. Not minor are the energy, banking, financial and even agricultural industries in the province.

All this enormous production makes more and more labor want to move to the province, so it is necessary to expand the residential areas in order to receive all these workers and thus facilitate the expansion of Ontario's economic production.
