There are some same species of both plants and animals located on separated continents. This is because the continents were all at one point joined together in one super continent: Pangea, but separated some 200 million years ago.

The same rocks and minerals from the same batch, dinosaur fossils dating back to the same time periods, natural landforms and structures can be found on completely separate continents. This evidence supports the Plate Techtonics and Continental Drift theories.
Where are the 7 continents and the 5 oceans?
The Oceans are quite easy: Atlantic Pacific Indian Southern Arctic The continents are harder though: Africa Europe Antarctica Asia Australia North America South America
When the continents aeparated some of the same species ended up on different continents this was due from?
The continents used to be one continent. The species all lived on one continent since there was only one, so they were distributed throughout. However, when the continent began to split and more continents formed, these species were separated. Then, evolution and adaptation began to set in (as it had before though) and these species became even more different from each other.

What is the name given to the largest bodies of land on earth?

If the estimated weight of the water in the Earth's oceans is 1.39 E 21 kg and the Earth's Crust is 4-7 mi thick how much additional weight can the ocean's crust handle before it becomes unbearable?
Because the Oceans spread their weight out evenly over the Earth, and the Crust is supported evenly from below by Earth's Mantle, the crust cannot "go" anywhere. True, it will compress somewhat from the weight of the oceans, but the oceans could be of any given depth (even a thousand miles) and the crust would do nothing but stay right where it is. Rock is heavier than water, so the continents outweigh the oceans by a considerable amount, even though they take up far less area. If the oceans were a couple of miles deeper, they would flood over the continents, but this would have little impact on their position.
Why do my Mexican friends say there are only 5 continents though I learned there are 7?
There are different ways of counting the continents in different parts of the world. English-speakers learn of seven continents (Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, and Australia). Spanish-speakers combine North and South America as one continent - America and ignore Antarctica since it is uninhabited. This is how they get five continents (Asia, America, Africa, Europe, and Australia).
