Answer:

The continents have moved over time.

Explanation:

Fossils are one of the best indicators of Earth's history. They are great information about how organisms looked, lived, evolved, but also they show what was the climate like, the geography, and even Earth's processes. The fossils are actually used as one of the best evidence for the theory of plate tectonics.

The reason why fossils are so important for the theory of plate tectonics is that there are numerous species of organisms that have been discovered in different continents that have no connection at present whatsoever and are far away from each other. It is practically impossible for exactly the same organisms to evolve in different places, especially not in different environments. In multiple specimens of a single species are left in several different environments, if they survive, they will all evolve different characteristics, not remain the same. This proves that continents that now are not connected, in the past were actually merged together, but because of divergent plate boundaries have moved away from each other.

As a creator, identify potential challenges an animal will face in its habitat and render workable
Lesechka [4]

Answer: As a creator, one can understand the changes in the environment and can create an animal according to those changes.

Explanation:

The animal can experience change in temperature, difficulty in obtaining food, mates, water, and shelter. Animal that lives in cold environment must have thick coat, thick fur, hard claws so that cold ice cannot be felt by the animal, must have similar color as that of the snow or ice so as to protect oneself from the predators by mimicking the color of the ice, or can camouflage prey by remaining undetected. Animal must have appreciable amount of fat to keep the body insulated in otherwise cold environment. Such an animal can also hibernate when there is extreme cold condition.
