The snake fossils moved apart by 2150 miles since they were originally deposited.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The first ever fossil of the snake that was found was of a small baby snake which had a well preserved skeletal structure. This was of the oldest snake that was found in the forest environment. These fossils can be found in each and every continent of the world but is not found in the continent of Antarctica.  

And the first snake fossil which has moved apart is by 2150 miles. The new fossils challenges past hypotheses that recommended long, slight skull structure that is normal for snakes is a component that advanced after the creatures became legless and built up their extended bodies.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

San Andreas is a prominent example of a transform fault, in which the plates namely the Pacific Plate and the North American plate slide past each other. The movement of the associated plates in this fault is in the right lateral, strike-slip. With the continuous and rapid movement of both the plates in its respective direction, the west side of the fault would get detached from the fault zone and lead to the formation of an island. The movement of the plates along this fault is responsible for the occurrence of shallow focus tremendous earthquakes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Most likely due to the movement of plate tectonics. They are plates of earth under the ocean that move occasionally, over the years this is probably what happened. Plate tectonics are also the cause of most earthquakes and even tsunamis. Erosion could also play a factor in this as well.
