Answer to Question 1

Sunspots always come in pairs, with one being a north pole and the other a south pole. One sunspot leads the pair. All of the leading spots in the northern hemisphere will have the same polarity, and all the ones in the southern hemisphere will have the opposite polarity. For example, if the leading sunspot in the northern hemisphere is a north pole, then all the leading spots north of the equator will be a north pole, and all the leading sunspots in the southern hemisphere will be a south pole.

Answer to Question 2

South America and Africa were split by the mid-Atlantic rift, and have spread apart in the last 70 million years.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
