Glossopteris, a fern-like plant that favors a warm, swampy climate, has been found in Antarctica, which is now located in a polar climate zone. Over millions of years, plate tectonics has caused Antarctica to move away from the other continents, now separated by the Southern Ocean. How did the breakup of the continents and the separation of the ocean influence the climates of various locations around the world? Climates remained unchanged. Climates become opposite to what they were millions of years ago. Climates were altered depending on their proximity to warm or cold ocean currents. Climates in the northern hemisphere are warmer than climates in the southern hemisphere.
