Multiple Choice

Wegener found fossils of ancient ferns on Antarctica, this shows

• That some ferns can survive temperatures well below freezing

• That humans put ferns on Antarctica millions of years ago

• That Antarctica drifted from a warmer climate where plants could grow

• That fossils can be formed in cold climates

Multiple Choice

Wegener found fossils of land reptiles on two different continents. This was important because

• Land reptiles are often found all over the world, showing that they can survive in most climates

• Land reptiles cannot swim, so the continents must have been connected for them to get across

• Land reptiles are never moved around the Earth by humans, so they must have travels to these continents by themselves

• Land reptiles fossilized much better than other animal species
