Answer:

Explanation:

Pollen shows a particular type of plant species and a particular type of environmental condition or habitat condition under which it was living. This type of study of pollen and spores called palynological study.

This type of study comes under the microfossil study, and now it is a very trending topic in determining the paleo-climate. Microfossil study is having more benefits because here we can do both qualitative and quantitative study.

Generally, nowadays we are doing a pollen study to know the glacial and inter glacial events. Because we know under different climatic condition different types of plant will grow. After their death, their pollen's get preserved under sediments and now we are analyzing them to construct the paleo-environment. But remember pollen preservation requires a very quick burial of sediments otherwise they are so susceptible that they can't be preserved .

Andrew [12]
The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile, mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during WWII <span>brought up a new evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>
