Fossils of Glossopteris, a type of fern, are found in Antarctica. How does this support the theory that the continents have move
d over time? A. Glossopteris was probably caused to Antarctica by the movement of Australia.
B. The presence of Glossopteris in Antarctica does not supposr the theory that the continents have moved over time.
C. Glossopteris seeds were probably carried to Antarctica by volcano caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
D. Antactica is too cold to support ferns now, so it must have been in different, warmer location in the past.
<span>The correct answer is d. Antarctica must have been in a different warmer location in the past. The presence of Glossopteris in Antarctia proves that the continent was located closer to the equator and have since drifted to the south pole. This observation supports the theory of continental drift. </span>
