Answer:

A. Fossils of organisms that lived in warm climates have been found in arctic environments.

Explanation:

One of the logic used by Geologists to justify plate movement over a region of space is that the fossils of organisms that lived in warm climates have been found in arctic environments.

  • this is as a result of plate tectonics.
  • organisms that are well adapted to warm climates in times past have their relics preserved as fossils.
  • their fossils are no found today around the arctic environment which are cold
  • this suggests that the plate must have drifted or moved
