Answer:

there have been several cases where fossils of the same type and age where found on different continents.

For example:-

"The Mesosaurus" which is an extinct genus of reptile from the Early Permian and was found in the continents of southern Africa and South America.

This seems to point to the fact that once all the continents were togethe, and they are now separate due to the Continental drift. ( the theory that states that all the continents were earlier one big form of landmass, but they have moved away from each other thus appearing to have "drifted" across the ocean bed."

But again these are all just theories and speculations but findings like these strengthen them and make people believe in these theories. They haven't exactly been confirmed. Like the evolution theory.

i hope this helps.

have a great day ahead :)

What causes folded mountains to form?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: Fold mountains occur near convergent or compressional plate boundaries. Plate movement creates fold mountains as the plates move towards each other. This movement causes layers of sedimentary rock on the ocean floor to become wrinkled and folded. These mountains are found between two continental plates.

why does the meiosis produce cells with only half the amount of DNA? How does this aid in the formation of a healthy zygote?
Andreyy89
Meiosis produces cells (germ cells or gametes) with only half the DNA, or chromosomes, as normal cells (somatic cells). This is called haploid or referred to as "n" number of chromosomes. Normal body cells have doubke that, called "2n," or diploid. For humans our n = 23, so germ cells (haploid) have only 23 chromosomes, while somatic (normal body) cells have "2n" or 46 chromosomes. It is important to only carry half the number of chromosomes or DNA (n), because it is going to combine with another half (n) when sperm meets egg during fertilization. This n + n = 2n restores the diploid number of chromosomes (DNA) in a zygote, the first cell of a future embryo, fetus, and new human being.
