Answer 2

Answer:

presence of mesosaurus fossils tells us that the continents of South America, Africa, and Antarctica were once connected in a large landmass.

Explanation:

• Mesosaurus fossils tell us that South America, Africa and Antarctica were once connected because these reptiles were unable to swim across vast oceans and move from one continent to another.
• The earliest fossil evidence for these animals indicates they are about 300 million years old and the species went extinct about 260 million years ago.
• Mesosaurus was one of the first reptiles to live in and around water, spending most of its life in water.
• Earth's plates are moving at speeds beyond human comprehension.
• It takes a long time for tectonic plates to travel long distances.
• The fossils of Mesosaurus slowly fell apart over tens of millions of years.
