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.

Explanation:
Answer:
<u>Washington D.C</u> is the capital of America
The correct matches are:
- A. Tropical - On the Equator;
- B. Dry - Near the Equator;
- C. Moderate - Mildest weather;
- D. Continental - Severe temperature changes;
The climate types differ from one place to another on our planet, and in general they are separated in zones in accordance to the latitude at which they are.
The tropical climate is the one that lies on and around the Equator, and it is warm and wet for the whole year. Little north and south of the Equator we encounter the dry climates, where the landscape is occupied by deserts, with extremely high temperatures, and very little precipitation. Further north come the moderate climate types and the continental climate types, they are similar to each other, but the temperatures in the moderate climates have less variation, while in the continental ones it is much bigger, also the moderate ones have more precipitation, and the continental ones have less precipitation. They are both in the mid-latitudes.
