Answer to Question 1

Answer: Tectonics. At the beginning of the Mesozoic, the various continents were assembled into one large landmass (Pangaea). With one large landmass, animals could roam from one continent to another. The break up of Pangaea occurred throughout the Mesozoic. By the Cenozoic the landmass of Pangaea ceased to exist. The various continents were separated, as such, so were the various mammals of the Cenozoic.

Answer to Question 2

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.
