Question

lystrosaurus provided which type of evidence supporting continental drift? land features fossil evidence glacial evidence climate change evidence

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Lystrosaurus is an extinct reptile. Fossils of Lystrosaurus have been found on different continents. This distribution of its fossils across continents that are now separated by vast oceans supports the idea of continental drift. Continental drift theory suggests that continents were once joined together (as part of a supercontinent like Pangaea) and have since moved apart. The presence of the same fossil species (like Lystrosaurus) on different modern - day continents is a key piece of fossil evidence for continental drift. Land features refer more to physical shapes of landmasses (e.g., mountain ranges matching on different continents), glacial evidence is about past glaciation patterns (e.g., glacial striations), and climate change evidence would be related to past climate indicators (e.g., coal deposits in certain areas indicating a past warm climate). But Lystrosaurus specifically is a fossil.

Answer:

fossil evidence
