Dinosaurs, despite living thousands or millions of years ago, behaved like modern day animals (instinct wise).
One possibility is that the land/sea dinosaur could have migrated or moved away from their suitable living spaces in hopes of finding food, space, shelter, water ect. The Bering Straight is a perfect example of 2 land masses joining together and acting as a bridge for animals/dinosaurs to cross.
Another is the ocean itself. Over the course of decades, fossils in the ocean could have easily drifted over from one land mass to another, and got stuck in it's resting place whenever the sea level drops.
By definition, a civil war is one fought within one nation, and that' what it was. Calling it the war for southern independence doesn't really make sense considering they lost the war and never actually got independence. Calling it the war between states is just like calling it the definiton of what a civil war is, so you may as well just call it a civil war
Stimulus diffusion is a type of cultural diffusion. That is a process where a trend spreads to a place and then changes to suit the new location and the cultural context of that location. Since they don't consume beef in India they changed the menu because of the culture and because they wouldn't be able to make money off of that product.
