Answer 1

Answer:

If the same organism appears on two different continents, this is evidence of plate movement.

Fossils show how organisms change, or evolve, over time.

Fossils provide a record of animals that are extinct, or no longer living.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is Statement 2. Fossils provide a record of animals that are or no longer living.

Explanation:

• As Fossil record shows, history of life as documented by fossils, the remains or imprints of organisms from earlier geological periods preserved in sedimentary rock.

Why Statement 1 is incorrect?

• Earth's plates have been in motion for over 3 billion years.

• They move at a very slow rate.

• And continents are either torn apart or collide together to form very large single continent.

• Fossils of the same genus/species suggest that continents that were once together, must have been together in the geological past.
