Over time, a group of tectonic events has resulted in the current location and structure of the uk - in the last 700 million years, we have gradually drifted north from near the South Pole. Proof of this turbulent tectonic past is preserved in the rock record, making the UK a needed starting point for a geoscientist searching for clues to the Earths past.

520 million years ago  much of the Earth’s continental landmass existed as two big continents, Gondwana and Laurentia, separated by 7,000 km of ocean. What is now the UK was separated between them – the north of Scotland on Laurentia, and the rest on Gondwana. The two were brought together during the Caledonian Orogeny

there were 43 known species of plants found as fossils from the time of Pangaea, and there were 273 fossil found, which is a lot if you think about how they were from millions upon millions of years ago

Alfred wegener needed lots of evidence to support his claim and plant fossils helped him. They helped him because the plant The glossopteris was found on five different continents.

GYMNOSPERM were some of the very earliest plants they were there around 408-360 years ago. These plants don't make flowers but they are great for fertilization.

Alfred Wegener used plant fossils to figure out how the continents fit together in pangaea

glossopteris is a type of plant found on many different continents

The Glossopteris was on the supercontinent of Gondwana, which was made up of South America, African, India, Arabia, and Australia

the plants can help form a map with there fossils. These fossils help us to tell where all the continents used to be.

The continents look really similar to how they looked 50 million years ago

in the last 700 hundred years we have been drifting north

a tree shaped plant that was 12 feet tall. it had tung shaped leaves. it is the largest extinct fren. it was in australia, antarctica, india,south africa and south america. the seed was way to dense to float across coins or be carried by a bird. if it cant get over oceans that way maybe it was a swimming animal you may think. but if you think about that that seams unrealistic. why whould that animal do that.
