Examine the image provided. The different colors on the continents represent where fossils of this organism, the Mesosaurus, can be found.

In you response be sure to include specific evidence for the Theory of Plate Tectonics and a general time scale for how long this geologic process may take.

think it has something to do with the pangea theory that millions of years ago the continents were all smushed together and over time they got pushed apart so maybe the dinosaurs were moving around when it was all together and then they died and it moved apart?
