Question

how does finging the same animal on different continents help to explain continental drift and plate tectonics?

Answer 1

When species or related species are found on different continents and there is no way for them to migrate today, we think it shows that the land masses must have been joined together in the past and drifted apart. That separated the populations of the species in question.

Example: Ancestors of the camel and llama lived in North America. Some went south, some went north. When the land bridge between North America and Asia was replaced with water, the two groups were separated or isolated and gradually accumulated differences.

Answer 2

We find not animals, but fossils (evidence of past animals) on different continents. Since there is no way for these animals to have walked (or swam or floated) across the oceans that separate them, it is evidence that these continents were once together.

Answer 3

millions of years ago when the plates were together these animals would have covered the plate
when the continetal drift started and land split up the animals were split up and according to fossil records we can determine when as these animals changed in their new climates they still maintain their ancestorial link indicating they were cionnected
so there is fossil evidence and evidence of evolution occuring
