In the past, Africa used to be farther away from Europe than it is now. What could explain why Africa is closer to Europe now than it was before?
What are Africa and Europe are parts of different plates. The plates slowly moved toward each other as one plate went under the other plate into soft, solid rock over millions of years.

Mrs. Palser finds two fossils on two separate continents across an ocean. Since Mrs. Palser loves the continents and doesn't know what the plates are, please explain to Mrs. Palser how these two fossils got so far apart from each other. Use evidence (Pangea, Continental Drift Theory, plate boundaries, plate motion, etc...)!
Mr. Bednar will determine correct responses here.
