Volcanic activity happens in a pattern along the plate boundary between the South American Plate and African Plate.

# data[].attributes.body
A mid-ocean ridge landform is found along the plate boundary between the South American Plate and African Plate.

# data[].attributes.body
Earthquakes occur in a pattern along the plate boundary between the South American Plate and African Plate.

# data[].attributes.body
The South American Plate and African Plate moved apart gradually at a divergent plate boundary.

# data[].attributes.body
The continents of South America and Africa, where Mesosaurus fossils are located, are currently about 4,000 km apart and separated by the Atlantic Ocean. GPS measurements show that the South American Plate and African Plate are currently spreading apart from each other at a rate of 3.0 cm per year.

Reasoning Statement

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supports claim ___ because…

This matters because...

This means...

All of this suggests that….. because…

# data[].attributes.body
The earthquakes along the plate boundary between the South American Plate and African plate tell us that the plates are moving. As plates move earthquakes happen.

# data[].attributes.body
Earthquakes occur when plates move at plate boundaries. If there are earthquakes at the plate boundary between the South American and African plate, then there must be movement at the plate boundary.

# data[].attributes.body
This matters because the plate boundary between south american plate and african plate in the mid-ocean ridge landform.

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supporst claim

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence card support the claim because it show's that the two plates it has been...........

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence support claim

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supports claim 2 because a mid ocean trench, the way it forms is by a divergent plate boundary

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supports claim 2 because the plates are between south American and African.

# data[].attributes.body
This supports claim 2 because that shows that, they were moving apart ever since Pangea broke apart.

# data[].attributes.body
This supports Evidence Card B because it shows the plate boundary between the South American Plate and African Plate.

# data[].attributes.body
This Evidenice supports Evidence Card B by showing the plate Boundray have been Seperating the North and the South Plates.

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supports claim B because it shows that the South American plate and African plate have been separating for a while.

# data[].attributes.body
this one support claim

# data[].attributes.body
Claim B because Seafloor spreading occurs along mid-ocean ridges large mountain ranges rising from the ocean floor. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, for instance, separates the North American plate from the Eurasian plate, and the South American plate from the African plate.

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supports claim 2 because \

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supports the claim because it formed between a ocean basin which formed and/or spread.

# data[].attributes.body
this shows that when they split apart a landform was formed in the middle so they have to had split apart.

# data[].attributes.body
thqt

# data[].attributes.body
This supports claim 2 Because this shows that it is moving gradually, that It move like that every year.

# data[].attributes.body
The continents of South America and Africa moved apart slowly (divergent plate boundary) because of the continents moving it supports claim 2.

# data[].attributes.body
This supports Evidnce Card B by saying its spreading apart at a rate of 3.0 cm per year at Evidence Card B is saying Souch American plate and African Plate move apart but not as a passific time or how long they take.

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence supports the claim because it was Tens or millions of years it may be several years ago(when dinosaurs became extinct) when it had moved, though earth's plates travel at a rate too slow to be experienced by humans..

# data[].attributes.body
This evidence support claim 2 because they are moving really care full.

# data[].attributes.body
this suports the claim because this shows it is moving very slowly

# data[].attributes.body
It supports claim because It shows that the plates move apart very slowly.

# data[].attributes.body
this evidence supports the claim
