The correct answer to the question "Which two continents contain fossils of Mesosaurus, an extinct reptile, in similar regions of Pangaea?" is:
- Africa and South America
During the time when Mesosaurus existed, Africa and South America were part of the supercontinent Pangaea. Fossils of Mesosaurus have been found in both Africa and South America, particularly in regions that were once connected when Pangaea existed. The presence of these fossils in similar areas of these two continents provides evidence of continental drift and the breakup of Pangaea over millions of years.
Understanding the distribution of Mesosaurus fossils on these continents helps scientists reconstruct the ancient geography of Pangaea and supports the theory of plate tectonics.
