New Zealand islands are formed by volcanic activity, so they are not as old as the closest continents so that they could have some animals that evolved from the prehistoric species (especially the mammals). So when the islands formed, they were far away from the closest continent, Australia, and only the birds and the plants (through their seeds in the winds) managed to get in here and develop unique characteristics.<span />

How does sea floor spreading provide supportive evidence for the theory of plate tectonics?.
jolli1 [7]

Answer: Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics. When oceanic plates diverge, tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. At a spreading center, basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed.
