3. North American and South America
4. Asia and Antarctica
1. Africa and North America
1. No, Mesosaurus could not swim across an ocean. Mesosaurus was a small aquatic reptile that lived during the early Permian period and was limited to freshwater environments, such as lakes and rivers. It had adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle but was not capable of swimming long distances across oceans.
Regarding the continents with matching coastlines and mountain ranges:
2. Africa and South America have coastlines and mountain ranges that match up. The east coast of South America corresponds to the west coast of Africa, and they both have similar geological features, such as the Caledonian Mountains.
3. North America and South America also have coastlines that match up. The west coast of North America lines up with the east coast of South America. However, their mountain ranges are not directly adjacent or connected.
4. Asia and Antarctica do not have coastlines and mountain ranges that match up. They are located on opposite ends of the Southern Hemisphere and have different geological histories.
