The geographic distribution of the swimming reptile Mesosaurus provides evidence that .?
South america and Africa were once joined.
What evidence does the geographic distribution of the swimming reptile Mesosaurus provide?
South America and Africa were once joined.
Where does Africa join Europe during Pangea what is the evidence?
During the time of Pangea, Africa joined Europe at the region now known as the Mediterranean Sea. Geological evidence supporting this includes the presence of similar rock formations, fossil distributions, and the alignment of mountain ranges such as the Atlas in Africa and the Alps in Europe, which indicate they were once part of the same landmass. Additionally, paleomagnetic studies show that the continents have shifted over time, providing further confirmation of their past connection.
What continents were once joined with South America?
Africa
What is evidence that Africa was once cold?
glossopteris
What two countries were once joined in a larger one in Europe?
The Czech Republic and Slovakia, which once was Czechoslovakia.
Evidence that Africa was once cold?
Fossil, climate, and rock.
Cite evidence from a land form and fossil to support the hypothesis that Africa and South America were once joined?
The similarity of the geological formations, such as the Appalachian Mountains in North America and the Caledonian Mountains in Scotland, suggests a connection between continents, supporting the hypothesis that Africa and South America were once joined. Additionally, fossils of the reptile Mesosaurus have been found in both Brazil and South Africa, indicating that these continents were once part of a larger landmass, as this freshwater species could not have crossed the Atlantic Ocean. Together, these geological and fossil records provide compelling evidence for the theory of continental drift.
Evidence that north America and Africa was once joined?
Fossils of the glossopteris fern, which have been found across South America, Africa, India, Antarctica, and Australia. Fossil eveidence of a triassic land reiple lystrosaurus are also found across Africa, India, Antarctica and Australia.
Did the east coast of what is now South America was once joined to the west coast of which other continent?
Africa
How do mountain chains provide evidence Pangea existed?
They provide evidence Pangea existed because mountain belts along the margins of North America, Africa and Europe line up as well and have similar rock types, indication that the continents at one time were joined as Pangea. Also that indicate that there were once contiental drift.
Was Africa once joined together with Australia?
Yes, Africa and Australia were once part of the supercontinent called Gondwana, which existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. Over millions of years, the breakup of Gondwana led to the separation of Africa and Australia to their current positions.
