Scientists have found mesosaurus fossils (a prehistoric reptile) on the each coast of South America and the west coast of South Africa. These
areas are now an ocean apart! Even though we know this animal could
swim, does the presence of mesosaurus fossils in two places support
Wegener's theory of continental drift? Explain your answer.

Explanation:

It does not support Wegener's theory of continental drift. Africa and South America were the part of a same land mass at one time, which then got separated into two different land forms called North America and South America and drifted to different locations other than the one from where they originated. This occurred due to continental drift. The evidence of this phenomena can be observed in fossils that were found to be same in both land forms. This depicts that same type of organisms were living in both land forms. Hence, gives the evidence that land forms were related.
