The map shows the present-day locations of the continents and oceans. The star shows the location of fossils from a prehistoric animal called Cynognathus.

Based on past movement of tectonic plates, which other location would most likely also have Cynognathus fossils? A. location A B. location B C. location C D. location D Find the location of the star. The star is located in Africa. Consider the past movement of tectonic plates. Millions of years ago, the continents were joined together in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Over time, the continents drifted apart due to plate tectonics. Fossils of the same species can be found on continents that were once connected. Analyze the locations given as options. Location A is in North America. Location B is in South America. Location C is in Australia. Location D is in Asia. Determine which continent was connected to Africa when Pangaea existed. South America was once connected to Africa. \(\boxed{B}\)
