Explain how the fossil described above supports the idea of plate tectonics?

Biology

AURORKA [14]3 years ago

Answer:

Modern continents hold clues to their distant past. Evidence from fossils, glaciers, and complementary coastlines helps reveal how the plates once fit together.

This distribution of fossils led to theories that the southern continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Gondwana.

Fossils tell us when and where plants and animals once existed. Some life "rode" on diverging plates, became isolated, and evolved into new species. Other life dispersed to new areas as continents reconnected, oceans narrowed, or chains of volcanic islands formed. Finding identical or similar fossils in areas separated by vast distances were some of the first clues that scientists used to reconstruct past plate movement. This distribution of fossils led to theories that the southern continents were once joined in a supercontinent called Gondwana.

The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze.

This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land.

How does the human heart level of organization relate to cells? To organ systems
ANEK [815]
It is hard to understand this question but ill give you my best answer. The hearts level of organisation to cells is immense, the heart pumps blood to every cell in the body (so they can respire) through a system of Arteries, veins and capillaries. The blood is pushed by the force of the heart through the arteries, the main (and largest) tubes for transportation to segments of the body further away from the heart. This goes into a smaller system of veins that brake off into a tree kind of pattern to reach every cell. These later brake off into the capillaries that have walls only 1 cell thick. This is how blood is transported to each cell that requires energy and oxygen to respire.
