Answer:

Cynognathus fossils were important to Wegner's theory because they were found on lands now separated by a wide ocean.

Explanation:

Wegner used the fossil of cynognathus as evidence to prove his continental drift hypothesis. Cynognathus are reptiles which lacked the swimming ability. These reptiles survived in the land before separation in live form along with other organisms surviving side by side.

Later due to certain natural phenomenon these reptiles died and the land got separated by a wide ocean. The fossils of cynognathus reptiles are now found in the lands that are separated by wide ocean.

Alcohol and other psychoactive drugs affect which parts of the brain? #1. primitive brain #2. reasoning center of the new brain

pogonyaev

The part of the brain which is affected is reasoning center of the new brain. Drinking alcohol also decreases motor function and slow reaction time, this is why when a person is drunk, he/she may not be able to stand or walk a straight line. Psychoactive drug or psychotropic substance is a chemical substance that acts primarily upon the central nervous system where it alters brain function resulting in temporary changes in perception, mood, consciousness and behavior.
