Question

why is the fossil of the plant glossopteris evidence of continental drift?
it is found along trade routes that are today separated by oceans.
it was the favorite food of animals living on several continents.
ancient humans carried it as they walked across pangaea.
it has been found in rocks on continents that are far apart today.

Explanation:

The theory of continental drift suggests that continents were once joined together and have since moved apart. Fossils of the same plant species (like Glossopteris) found on continents that are now far apart support this idea. It implies that these continents were once adjacent, allowing the plant to grow across a single landmass. The other options are incorrect. Trade routes (which are human - made and recent) are not relevant to ancient continental positions. There is no evidence that it was a favorite food of animals across continents in a way that would explain continental positions. Also, ancient humans did not exist when Pangaea was a supercontinent.

Answer:

It has been found in rocks on continents that are far apart today.
