Answer to Question 1

Early views were far-fetched ideas about rafting, land bridges, and island stepping-stones to get from one continent, across an ocean, and onto another continent.

Answer to Question 2

Mesosaurus was a freshwater reptile, and migration between the continents as they are now would have been impossible; however, if they were connected (as in Pangea), then this animal could have easily moved between the two by freshwater river systems.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
