Question

A fossil is any natural evidence of prehistoric life that provides some idea of the size, shape, or form of the organism. A fossil does need not to be a whole animal or plant. Broken fragments are also fossils, as are the tracks left behind by the organisms. Fossils provide important evidence of how life and environmental conditions have changed. The fossils found in rock formations of different time periods differ because the environment on Earth has changed.
Position of land masses of early Pennsylvania can be determined through fossil records because we know that most plants presently live on land. From this information, we can infer?

Answer 1

Continent drifts

Explanation:

The use of fossil evidences to support the correlation of land masses that are presently not together can suggests that continents do move and land masses can change position.

This was one of the earliest prove suggest by Alfred Wegener to back up his theory of continental drift.

• Since fossils are evidence of prehisotric life, a place originally together should have the same fossil contents.
• When they become separated, the fossil contents in their lithology should match.
