What was the inferred motion of North America relative to Africa that occurred 200 to 135 million years ago?
North America has been moving northward from Africa for the last 200 to 130 million years ago.
How were the locations of the continents 65 million years ago different from the locations of the continents today?
65 million years ago, the continents were in different positions due to plate tectonic movement. For example, North America was closer to Europe and Africa, South America was located near Antarctica, and India had not yet collided with Asia. These movements have continued over time, leading to the current positions of the continents.
