The presence of glossopteris leaves and mesosaurus on disconnected continents are strong _______ evidence for continental drift.
almond37 [142]

Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.

The major industrial nations of the world, like the United States and China, are also the world's largest
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

This problem should be worked on by the most developed countries as they have the biggest capacity, and after they get on the right way to help the developing countries and show them the way as to how to do it as well.

Explanation:

The carbon emissions that humanity is releasing into the atmosphere can not be attributed to only a few countries, but to most of the countries in the world. All countries that have some kind of industry contribute to the problem, though some countries much more than others.

In order for carbon emissions to decrease there should be a global collaboration. The most developed countries because they have the most finances and resources should lead the way and come up with solutions, and once they do this to help the developing countries with it so that they can also stop the carbon emissions.

Many countries are already on the right path, namely Germany, the Netherlands, France, the Scandinavian countries. The two biggest economies though, the US and China don't even want to hear about this because of their race for economic dominance, so it seems that reasoning the governments of these two countries will be the most important step for global turnaround.
