Question

Alfred Wegener noted that fossils from a particular type of reptile are found on both sides of the Atlantic ocean. Which of the following would be the best explanation of how this occurred?

So really none but if I were to pick on I would pick d .

Answer 2

Answer:

B. The Atlantic Ocean did not exist in earlier times.

Explanation:

It simply didn't yet exist; there was only Pangaea surrounded by a global ocean. Before the Atlantic Ocean could open Pangaea had to be split. ... Deep beneath the Atlantic's waves it erupts as lava, providing new crustal material as it slowly pushes the continental plates apart.
