Answer:
- Glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock from an ice sheet match in distant regions
- Fossils of marsupials were originally the same across South America and Australia
- Cratons match across the edges of continents
Explanation:
South America, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia were all once part of one super-continent. This super-continent has been named Gondwanaland. As the geological processes got more intensive though and Gondwanaland separated into smaller land masses, continents, which we now know as the continents on the Southern Hemisphere. There are numerous clues that confirm that these continents were once connected. Some of the clues are the matching cratons on the edges of the continents, the glacial deposits and scratches in the bedrock are also matching, lot of fossilized flora and fauna from the same species have been found in several of these continents, the marsupials in South America and Australia etc.
Both cycle occur within the atmosphere but the difference that they have is at the rate with which they occur. Phosphorus cycle is one of the slowest form of matter cycles that occur on earth as compared to the carbon cycle.
All of about is the answer
